Angelina Jolie said Thursday the Syrian civil war is the world's most acute humanitarian crisis and called on world leaders to make diplomatic efforts to end it succeed.
Jolie spoke at Jordan's largest camp for Syrian refugees, which she toured as special envoy for the United Nations refugee agency.
Actress Angelina Jolie, the U.N. refugee agency's special envoy, leaves after a news conference at the Al Zaatri refugee camp for Syrians displaced by conflict, on World Refugee Day in the Jordanian city of Mafraq, near the border with Syria Thursday.
"I appeal to the world leaders - please, set aside your differences, unite to end the violence, and make diplomacy succeed," she told reporters, drawing attention to the U.N.'s World Refugee Day.
Jolie is returning to her humanitarian work after announcing last month that she had her breasts removed after discovering she has an inherited genetic mutation that puts her at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Teh 38-year-old actress visits Zaatari camp, which was her first visit public appearance with the United Nations refugee agency since the double mastectomy.
Her visit to Zaatari camp was her first visit public appearance with the United Nations refugee agency since the double mastectomy.
The actress said that by the end of this year, "half of Syria's population - 10 million people - will be in desperate need of food, shelter and assistance."
Angelina Jolie (R), the U.N. refugee agency's special envoy, Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide (2nd L) and U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Antonio Guterres (L) arrive at the Al Zaatri refugee camp.
"The lives of millions of people are in your hands," said Jolie, who wore a black T-shirt and pants under the scorching desert sun, as billows of dust were kicked up by the wind. "You must find common ground."
In her news conference under a tent in Zaatari camp, she said that refugees are "often forgotten and frequently misunderstood."
"I appeal to the world leaders - please, set aside your differences, unite to end the violence, and make diplomacy succeed," she told reporters, drawing attention to the U.N.'s World Refugee Day.
"They are regarded as a burden, as helpless individuals, or as people who wish to move to someone else's country," she said.
"That is not who they are," she added somberly. Rather, refugees are people to invest in, "who will one day rebuild their countries, and a more peaceful world for us all."
Jordan hosts more than half a million displaced Syrians, including 185,000 in Zaatari, which has become Jordan's fourth largest populated city.
Inaugurated last July, Zaatari is the world's second largest refugee camp, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The largest according to the UNHCR is Dadaab camp in Kenya, which houses 463,000 Somali refugees.

Brangelina’s Boys Treat Themselves to a Manicure
By Matt Donnelly | omg! – Tue, Jun 18, 2013 9:10 PM EDT
As with kids in any busy household, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's six-member brood probably feels the effects when one or both of their parents execute a global press tour.
But despite the fact that Pitt is doing just that right now for his zombie flick "World War Z," the kids are still carving out time for simple things — like a manicure.
Maddox, 11, and Pax, 9, hit a New York nail salon in the company of a nanny on Monday, where they were snapped at separate nail stations getting a clean-up on their mitts. (We personally loathe putting ours off.)
Perhaps Maddox, clad in black and a gray beanie, was rewarding himself for a job well done. After all, he appears alongside dad in "World War Z" as a zombie who meets a grizzly end.
"He's a zombie who gets shot. I don't know what that says about my parenting!" Pitt recently told People magazine.
Pax, however, has long appreciated the art of nail care. He's rocked gold nails during an errand run with mom Jolie, and once even scored his own personal manicure kit.
While there aren't any photographers to catch him in the act while he's doing his nails at home, there are a lot more siblings to compete with for best nail art.
Pitt next heads to Russia with his zombie epic, which opens June 21. |
