“There are millions of children right now who are living on the brink of starvation and one child slips into severe acute malnutrition every 60 seconds in the 15 hardest-hit crisis countries, which includes Kenya,” she continued. “@unicef’s appeal for the Horn of Africa is just over half funded. I implore everyone, be it governments, private sector, individuals, please give as much as you can to save lives and prevent countries in this region from spiralling into famine.”

Chopra has previously shared videos from her trip to Kenya with her 83 million Instagram followers in order to get out the message that help is needed urgently.

“When the children deviate from the growth chart, it means they are stunted, wasting, and those words are anyway just really difficult to hear when it comes to a child. But that is how you describe malnutrition. It is literally the wasting away of a child and being stunted,” the she said in a video posted earlier this week.
