Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis openly sobbed on U.K. TV on Monday (12Jul11) as she discussed her visit to a refugee camp in Kenya.
 
The Sex and the City star, an ambassador for Oxfam, broke down in tears as she spoke about a charity trip to the Dadaab camp, which has been inundated with as many as 380,000 refugees fleeing war and drought in Somalia.
 
In the emotional interview on BBC Breakfast, Davis cried as she described a meeting with a disabled Somali widow.
 
The actress' voice cracked as she explained, "I'm sorry, this story is a hard story. This woman can't walk so she came from Somalia on a cart with a donkey.

"She started with five children and now she just has three. Her husband was killed along the way and (she lost) everything she owned."
 
Davis later admitted that her charity work in Africa has made her realize how "blessed" she is, adding, "I'm exceptionally lucky, obviously, and I live just a blessed life in many ways from just sheer luck, and when you do go (on these trips) it's hard to believe that it's 2011 and it's hard to believe people live like this."
