Angelina Jolie has penned a passionate report about her recent trip to meet with Syrian war refugees in Iraq, confessing the visit left her “speechless” after seeing the suffering among displaced citizens.
The actress and activist was in the Middle East as a special envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on Sunday, meeting with hundreds of families in a Kurdish refugee camp in the northern Iraq city of Dohuk.
During a press conference at the camp, she appealed for urgent funding to aid more than three million refugees fleeing the civil war in Syria, and on Tuesday, she continued her mission to help the refugees by penning an article for The New York Times.
