HOLMES: Welcome back. When she's not working on her hit TV series "Elementary," Lucy Liu takes on another role, and that is of UNICEF ambassador. The actress recently visiting Syrian refugee families in Lebanon, and there are many of them. What she found there is heartbreaking, millions without a country, living in fear and uncertainty.</s>LUCY LIU, UNICEF AMBASSADOR: Hi. I'm Lucy Liu and we can make an impact for Syrian children. Syria is in a terrible situation right now. There's a civil war going on that is creating absolute pandemonium and people are fleeing into Lebanon, into Jordan, into Iraq. Six million people have been displaced and half of them are children. These children are suffering. They have lice, there's scabies and they've lost family. They can't go to school. They're not getting the medical attention they need. They're not getting the nutrition they need. There's going to be a lost generation of children if this continues. Children deserve to have a childhood. What happens on the other side of the world isn't just their business, it's our business, because we share the same water. We share the same environment. If we understand that, we are actually one community. Then it makes the world so much smaller and much more tangible for people to understand. UNICEF is currently desperate for donations for Syria. It's our duty as human beings to give back. Join the movement. Impact your world.

Well, it was just a short come -- shortcut home, but some shortcut it was. It added seven hours to her trip and it took firemen to free her. We'll have that when we come back.
