(hollyscoop.com ) - Angelina Jolie is one busy humanitarian. According to United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR, Jolie is in Iraq to witness firsthand the humanitarian crisis there. Jolie flew from New York to Syria on Monday and spent hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes. On Tuesday she crossed over to Iraq to meet with 1,200 refugees. "I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a statement. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq." Following her Tuesday meeting at the Al Waleed camp in Iraq, Jolie said, "It is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq's future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face." I truly commend Jolie on her humanitarian efforts, it's too bad that people put so much emphasis on her love life that they can't see that she's actually trying to make a difference in the world.
