Syrian refugees hope for a better future: Salma Hayek

"I broke down, I can't hold back my tears," said actress and activist Salma Hayek as she spoke about her recent visit to a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon.

Hayek spoke to CNN's Hala Gorani about her recent trip to Lebanon and the plight of the Syrian refugees she met there on April 27.

Hayek, 48, visited Lebanon with Unicef to draw attention to the region's refugees who have been displaced by conflicts in their native Syria.

A Unicef supporter and Chime for Change campaign co-founder, Salma Hayek helped launch Chime for the Children of Syria, a fundraising appeal to support children and families affected by the Syria crisis.

The actress swapped her glam makeup and enviable wardrobe for slacks, boots, and a jean jacket for her surprise mission. During her field visit, Hayek was snapped tending to local kids and listening to the struggles of the millions impacted by conflict.
