David Beckham has pleaded with the world not to turn a "blind eye" to dying children in developing countries.
The soccer star - who has three sons, Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, five, and two-year-old Cruz with Spice Girl wife Victoria - was visibly moved as he visited the poverty-hit Sierra Leone, where a quarter of all children die before they turn five.
David, who was in the West African state for his role as a goodwill ambassador for United Nations children's organisation UNICEF, said: "We can't turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of young children who die every day in the developing world, mostly from causes that are preventable.
