As a Goodwill ambassador, Angelina Jolie will fly to Iraq to speak with the refugees and see for herself the conditions they are living in.
She said,
"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. My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."
"It is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate abut Iraq's future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face."
