Angelina Jolie Visits Syrian Refugees
Ever the humanitarian and spreader of goodwill, Angelina Jolie traveled to Turkey to visit thousands of Syrian refugees amid the unrest in that nation, and as part of her duties as an ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
To commemorate World Refugee day June 20, Jolie and the UNHCR are calling attention to the realities of war and terror and how they affect families.
Angelina Jolie: From the red carpet to the front lines.
"Every day, thousands of people run from war, persecution and terror," she says.
"Even one is too many. One family forced to flee is too many. One child growing up in a camp is too many. One refugee without hope is too many."
Jolie made the trip from Malta, where she is staying along with partner Brad Pitt and their six children as he films his next movie, to Turkey.
As always, we applaud her humanitarian efforts.

It's funny how she goes around meddling in other peoples business when she doesn't even help in her own country.

She looks great in this photo. Though I hate her for apparently 'mashing up' a marriage, I am impressed with her attempts to help those in need. I too, sincerely applaud, her humanitarian efforts.

These camps are far from safe for women & kids. And theres virtually no medical facilities. There has to be better places for all these displaced people.

i've visited one of these refugees camps, it's horrible, the difference between this camp and prison it's not that big, they need to live and not pay for wanting to live in a world without war
