She's giving Mother Teresa a run for her (lack of) money! A-lister actress and UN enjoy Angelina Jolie continued her trail of happy tears when she visited refugees living in an abandoned school in Al Qosh, Iraq. We wonder if she adopted any of them?!
During her two-day trip, the Oscar winner visited the Iraqi refugees, who are members of the minority Christian community.
In addition, Angelina traveled to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to offer support to 3.3 million displaced people.
During her stop she spoke about what has happened to the middle eastern country since she last visited in 2012. At a press conference at the Khanke Camp for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Dohuk Governorate, "Since I was last here in Iraq, another two million people have been forced from their homes, mostly in the last six months – this time Iraqi citizens."
"The spill-over from the Syria conflict has been devastating. The brutality of the conflict and speed and scale of the displacement has shocked the world. Help has come, but not nearly enough," lamented Brad Pitt's wife.
Angelina was appointed as Special Envoy of UN High Commissioner for Refugees in April 2012.
