Mrs Jolie-Pitt in Iraq bringing the plights of refugee to light. She was greatly concerned for the misplaced resulting from Syria and Iraq war. Speaking on Sunday in Iraq, she called on world leaders to do more to these refugees.
"Angelina said: '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.'
'Too many innocent people are paying the price of the conflict in Syria and spread of extremism. The international community has to step up and do more.
'It is not enough to defend our values at home. We have to defend them here, in the camps and in the informal settlements across the Middle East, and in the ruined towns of Iraq and Syria. We are being tested here, as an international community, and so far – for all the immense efforts and good intentions – we are failing,' she said at a press conference at the Khanke Camp for Internally Displaced People (IDPs)."
