Former World No.1 tennis player Andy Murray has pledged to donate his prize-money earnings for the rest of the year to help children affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

BBC reports the former world number one is working with Unicef to provide medical supplies and development kits.

Russia's attack on Ukraine has so far seen more than two million people flee the country.

Murray says over 7.5 million children are at risk with the escalating conflict in Ukraine.

He adds Unicef is working to enable displaced children access to learning, as well as supporting the rehabilitation of damaged schools, together with the replacement of equipment and furniture.

Earlier on Tuesday, tennis' governing bodies announced a donation of $700,000 (£530,000) to help humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and support the Ukraine Tennis Federation.

Meanwhile, golf's PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has confirmed that the money is being donated to Unicef through Golfers for Ukraine, with $316,000 raised so far.
