Actress Mia Farrow has called for support to help children in Haiti as they struggle for survival in the quake-ravaged region.

The 64-year-old activist, who looks after 11 adopted children, spoke after 10 American members of a Christian charity group were charged with attempting to illegally smuggle 30 kids to the US, reports the Daily Express.

The Rosemary’’s Baby star tagged the attempt “deplorable”, urging the world to support affected orphanages and families in the Caribbean area.

As many as 212,000 people were confirmed to have died and more than one million left homeless after a 7.0-magnitude quake struck the impoverished nation on January 12.
