The Life List: Celebrities lend star power to Ukraine
Last month, British football icon David Beckham, 46, gave the world a first-hand view of what it was like to live in a war-torn city when he handed over his Instagram account to a Ukrainian doctor in the besieged city of Kharkiv.
The doctor showed Beckham’s 72 million followers photos and videos that included scenes of pregnant women and those who just gave birth being evacuated, as well as families whose homes have been destroyed.
Beckham, a Unicef (United Nations Children’s Fund) ambassador, and his 47-year-old wife, former Spice Girl and fashion designer Victoria, have also made donations to Ukraine.
While the couple did not reveal the amount, British tabloid The Mirror estimated it to be £1 million (S$1.78 million).
