Ramrakha then went on to cover political and military movements across Africa. In 1968, while covering the Nigerian Civil War with CBS correspondent Morley Safer, Ramrakha was fatally wounded in an ambush near Owerri in Imo state by Biafran soldiers. A week later, Life magazine dedicated an article to Ramrakha (Vol. 65, n°15, october 11th, page 46). The documentary film African Lens: The Story of Priya Ramrakha was released in 2007. In 2019, a Kickstarter project funded the production and printing of a photobook dedicated to Ramrakha's life and work.
