David Beckham has said meeting children and their families living in a refugee camp in Djibouti broke his heart.
The former England footballer spoke to some of the 10,000 people living in the Ali Addeh camp as part of his role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
The camp is home to families who have fled violence or conflict in neighbouring Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia
It was the first time Beckham had visited a camp and he said: "It’s shocking to see how children’s lives can be turned upside down as a result of conflict and violence and as a father it breaks my heart to see children living in such difficult circumstances.
"All children, no matter where they live, deserve a fair chance in life."
