Angelina Jolie: We’re ‘Failing’ Millions Of Refugees In Iraq, Syria

Angelina Jolie is demanding the world pay closer attention to the dire needs of displaced Iraqi and Syrian families.

The actress visited a refugee camp near Dohuk, Iraq, on Sunday, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) reported, drawing attention to the humanitarian crisis in the region caused by civil conflict. There are 3.3 million displaced people in Iraq, according to the organization, and 2.1 million of them were uprooted in 2014 alone.
