ACTRESS Carey Mulligan has begged British government to 'please act now' at a Downing Street Aleppo rally.
Mulligan, who has started in films including Suffragette and Far From the Maddening Crowd, spoke to crowds of people in London.
She did not call explicitly for military action however she said: "We’re calling on you Theresa May, we’re calling on you Boris Johnson and we have faith in you. Please act now and save Aleppo’s children."
Mulligan, who is a global ambassador of War Child, urged the people of Britain to take a stand.
Speaking before the rally, she told BBC Breakfast: "It's unimaginable to think of my daughter going through any of these experiences, let alone what the children are going through in Aleppo. It's heartbreaking and I think every parent can relate to that."
A number of charities, MPs and celebrities have united at the protest against the Syrian city which reportedly has 100,000 children under siege.
Teddy bears were left outside the prime minister's office to represent the thousands of children trapped in rebel-held areas of Aleppo.
