Hollywood star and UN humanitarian Angelina Jolie has visited flood-hit areas in southern Pakistan to communicate directly with the affected people.
The special envoy to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees visited the South Asian country to draw international attention to the country’s unfolding humanitarian crisis as massive floods have killed more than 1,500 people and made millions of people homeless.
In a statement, the International Rescue Committee said the 47-year-old is visiting Pakistan to support communities affected by the devastating floods.
The noted Hollywood, who amassed millions of fans, will gain an understanding of the grave situation and will interact with people to know people’s needs, and about steps to prevent such suffering in the future.
