DOHUK, Iraq, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Actress and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Special Envoy Angelina Jolie visited Iraq to raise awareness for the 3.3 million displaced in the country.
"It is shocking to see how the humanitarian situation in Iraq has deteriorated since my last visit [in 2012]," Jolie said of her Sunday visit. "On top of large numbers of Syrian refugees, 2 million Iraqis were displaced by violence in 2014 alone. Many of these innocent people have been uprooted multiple times as they seek safety amidst shifting front lines."
