UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie is in Pakistan, and the actress is visiting regions hit by the floods today and tomorrow as the personal envoy of UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres. UNHCR has delivered much needed aid to nearly 750,000 people, but according to their website, "continued flooding in many areas of southern Pakistan is creating new challenges for relief efforts."

"Pakistan remains in the midst of a massive humanitarian crisis as flooding continues across vast areas," added Mengesha Kebede, UNHCR's representative to Pakistan. Jolie last visited the country in November of 2005 after an earthquake caused severe destruction in northern Pakistan.
