Dua Lipa traveled to Lebanon with UNICEF this week to meet children and young people who have been uprooted by the eight-year conflict in Syria.
The Grammy award winner spoke to the youth population there about the obstacles they face and visited projects and settlements including a UNICEF youth partner organization. She also saw the Burj el Barajneh Palestinian camp, where she spent time with Palestinian and Syrian children receiving psychosocial support.
This conflict hits home for Lipa, whose Kosovar-Albanian parents fled political turmoil in the Balkans in the early 1990s. She said in a statement, “This is personal for me. My parents fled a war-torn region and built a life for themselves in a new place. And each one of the refugee children I met has parents just like my own, who have tried to make the best decisions they could for their families.” The songstress also took to Instagram to share a number of photos from her trip, each containing equally touching captions. Give the snapshots a look below.
