Yesterday stood the Instagram account of the former football player, who has been an ambassador of UNICEF for years, full of photos and videos from Kharkov. Heavy fighting has been going on in Ukraine’s second-largest city for weeks.
Intense images
A doctor from the United Nations children’s rights organization, Iryna, talks about the situation in the conflict area. She works there as an anesthetist, writes The Guardian.

Beckham’s more than 70 million followers get to see what Iryna deals with on a daily basis in Kharkiv. There are images of pregnant women and young mothers taking shelter in a cellar on the first day of the Russian invasion. Photos show how newborn children in intensive care (IC) in the city are dependent on ventilators.
‘We don’t give up’
Iryna says she and other doctors “work 24 hours a day.” They are all worried and sometimes cry about the situation, she says. “But none of us will give up work.”
Beckham has been a UNICEF ambassador since 2005 and calls on his followers to donate money to charity. With help from the organization, newborns can “survive in appalling conditions,” he says.
