Actor Orlando Bloom is doing his part for the refugees arriving in Europe from Syria.

The UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador travelled to the borders of Greece, Serbia and F.Y.R.O.M where he was moved by the scenes unfolding before his eyes.

“Witnessing it first hand, it’s hard to fathom really the level of stress which they’ve been under and the pain they’ve experienced,” Bloom said.

“They’re travelling with just the clothes on their back, mostly.”

The Lord of the Rings star, interacted with both young and old, and was also seen taking selfies with the newly arrived on his phone.

He noted that many of the Syrians he met were “very well-educated” and had done research on their route and next destination.

In a video for UNICEF, the Ambassador made a point of stressing that the refugees “are in desperate need of our help, desperate need of our assistance”.

After Hungary sealed its borders, the Balkans migration route has increased in popularity as a way to enter western Europe.
