Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Donate $340,000 To Somali Relief Group

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $340,000 to the Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid, which helps provide healthcare for homeless children in Somalia.

The country is experiencing its worst famine in 60 years, and the United Nations reports that 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death over the next few months. Jolie has been a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees since 2001, and when she attended the UN Refugee Agency Awards in Switzerland last week, she became emotional when she reflected on the work she's done over the past decade.

"Most of all I'm so grateful -- I don't want to cry -- to the refugee families that I have the honor and privilege to spend the last years with," she said. "From them I've learned so much. I've learned to be a better person, a better mother. They've inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit."
