Celebrity Keira Knightley attended for the non-profit organization Oxfam, a refugee camp in South Sudan and was shocked by an “atmosphere of terror”.


Hollywood Celebrity actress Keira Knightley was with the non-profit organization Oxfam in a refugee camp in South Sudan, encountering families living in catastrophic conditions. Through the decades of civil war and the subsequent power struggles between the President Salva Kiir Mayardit and former deputy Riek Machar hundreds of thousands lost their lives or had to flee. Now facing a new catastrophe in South Sudan: Since agriculture is largely paralyzed by the Civil War, four million people are threatened with starvation in August.


Celebrity Keira Knightley and Oxfam want to draw attention with her visit to a refugee camp near the town of boron to the suffering of the people. The British encountered many women who struggle to survive with her children after the death of their husbands. Hunger, malaria, contaminated water and in the refugee camp of everyday life. “I’ve never been in a war zone, I have never experienced this incredible, distinctive atmosphere of terror”, Celebrity Keira Knightley told the British newspaper upon their return. “I have not cried when I was there. Which damn right I would have to cry when the people I met there and as close to hell as you can live there only imagine, do not cry?”


When they asked the residents of the camp who she was, she wished she could have said, “I’m a doctor.” As an actress, she wanted to help people in other ways: In a touching appeal Knightley asked on the Instagram profile of Oxfam donations: “I have seen how bad the crisis and how much people need help.” Already in the past, Celebrity Keira Knighley had used for humanitarian purposes and supports projects of Oxfam, but also Amnesty International, Save the Children and UNICEF.
