OlderAngelina Jolie Visits Iraq
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie traveled to Iraq and Syria to see first-hand the humanitarian needs there — the plight of hundreds of thousands of families uprooted by the ongoing conflict in Iraq.
According to UNHCR, “Yesterday in Damascus (Syria), Jolie visited a UNHCR registration center and spent hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes. Today, she crossed into Iraq to visit 1,200 refugees trapped in a makeshift camp at the border, unable to flee Iraq, and later watched scores of Iraqis crossing into Syria at a border checkpoint.”
“I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to this humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners,” Angelina said. “My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.”
After talking with stranded refugees at Iraq’s Al Waleed camp on Tuesday, Angie said: “it is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq’s future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face.”
While in Iraq, Jolie also took the time to privately visit US troops and other Multi-National Forces based in the area.

United Nations Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie traveled to Syria and Iraq on Monday. The 32-year-old actress and mother of four is visiting the war-torn nations in an effort to raise awareness of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.
Yesterday in Damascus, Syria, Jolie spent hours speaking with Iraqi refugees. The U.N. estimates that hundreds of thousand of families, equaling more than 4.2 million Iraqis, have left their homes, uprooted by the conflict in Iraq.
Avoiding any political commentary, Jolie said of her trip, “I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to this humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR [The United Nations Refugee Agency] and its partners. My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the humanitarian plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.”
She added, “It is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq’s future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face.”
Jennifer Pagonis, a spokesperson for UNHCR tells Usmagazine.com, “As UNHCR’s Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has been an eloquent and untiring champion of the refugee cause, which we appreciate immensely.”
In addition her work for the U.N., Jolie visited with American troops stationed in the region while on her trip.

Whatever Jessica and Nick went to Iraq a few yrs ago, what took Angelina so long?
*********************************************************************
You fool, that why Angie is there now. Nick and Jessie hardly made a dent in public’s notice. Angie sure will bring attention to the plight of the refugees and the UNHCR knows that.

To all you people on here with your vile comments what the **** is wrong with you. You are the most discusting most pathetic people i have ever come across. If you don’t like her then go find someone you do like but you can’t stay away because there is something hateful in all of you that takes joy in what you come here to do. Truly pathetic.

#150: Why would she? Not everyone is anti-war. It behooves her to keep her mouth shut as she has to work with both dems and repubs if she wants to get anything done in Washington. Unlike other celebs whose purpose is only to be seen or perceived as someone with political leanings, Angelina is smart enough not to be trapped in that box.
no i don’t want them 2 die! that’s just horrible wishing someone dead!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Rememeber when Brad was in India builing houses? well there is an account from a red cross worker who said that Brad did his little show for the cameras and then left. He said he was not serious about the work and he was a publicity *****.
It was posted here.
everbody except murderers an pedophiles deserves 2 live.
I hate jolie no matter what u all say……hahaha
14? no guess again :lol: WAY off!

Because it’s dangerous to create journalists and experts from celebrities. Angelina has her own agenda and I do not believe she is a true humanitarian. I believe she is interested in world events. But if she was not interested in power and fame then she wouldn’t wait for the UNHCR to speak out about issues. She has never spoken out against the Iraq War. A lot of other celebrities have not only spoken out but marched in protests. Where was Angelina Jolie? She is a fake humanitarian only when it suits her. She is a complete narcissist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And you sir are a bona fide jackass!!!!! WHAT person donates a third of their earnings to NOLA; Doctors Without Borders; GAC; UNHCR etc. and is not a humanitarian?
Also re: the Fonda crap. Angelina donated $1 million US to the Aghan refugees through UNCR after 9/1 and people trashed her forthat despite the fact that many were fleeing the Taliban (and OBL) or had been displace by the Russians 25 years earlier and their homes destroyed, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bless you Angelina and all you love and all who take care of you. I guess we know (sort of) where Shiloh is right?
