Nobel Peace prize winner and education activist Malala Yousafzai delivered a strong message to President Donald Trump today after being named the youngest U.N. Messenger of Peace.

Speaking on CBS This Morning in an interview with Norah O'Donnell, the 19-year-old commented on Trump's stance on Syrian refugees - she thinks Trump should visit a refugee camp to gain some 'perspective'.

While last week, the president appeared to be mindful of the Syrian children who were killed in the sarin gas attack, Malala pointed out that his refugee policy would have kept those same children from coming into the United States.

In an interview with Norah O'Donnell, Malala Yousafzai, 19, comment on Trump's stance on Syrian refugees, urging the president to visit a camp and spend time with refugee children

'It's important that he understand that these people are in need,' she explained.

'I have seen them, I have went to refugee camps, and I think he needs to go to these refugee camps.... He needs to know what the real life is like in a refugee camp.'

Malala's plea comes just days after President Trump ordered a military strike against a Syrian airbase.

The administration claims the decision to launch the 59 Tomahawk missiles was in response to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's latest chemical attack that killed at least 100 civilians in the war-torn country.

'Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered at this very barbaric attack,' Trump said after launching the strike Thursday night. 'No child of God should ever suffer such horror.'

Malala rose to international prominence after she was nearly killed in 2012 when the Pakistani Taliban shot her in the head and neck on her way from school.

Her bravery not only earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, but on Tuesday, the United Nations' secretary-general bestowed his highest honor, making her the youngest ever United Nations Messenger of Peace.

Her foundation, The Malala Fund, finances programs in Syrian refugee camps in Jordan and opened a school for Syrian refugee girls in Lebanon.

'Once you educate girls, you change the whole community, you change the whole society,' Yousafzai said Tuesday during her acceptance speech. 'If you do not stand up, change will not come ... It starts with us and it should start now.'
