Hollywood star Michelle Yeoh said she’s appalled by the plight of the hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who have fled violence in Myanmar into Bangladesh. Yeoh, a goodwill ambassador for the UN Development Program, visited sprawling refugee camps in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar on Saturday as part of a Malaysian delegation led by the Southeast Asian nation’s military chief.
The team visited a hospital set up by Malaysia and distributed relief goods in another camp. Yeoh says the situation the Rohingya are going through is “despicable” and “very tragic.”
