David Beckham who is
currently travelling to every continent for a documentary about grassroots
football 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."
