GENEVA: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has donated $100,000 to aid Syrian refugees, the UN refugee agency said on Wednesday.
The Oscar-winning actress is a special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and made the donation on World Refugee Day. In a statement marking the occasion Jolie said the solutions to the world's growing number of displaced people were political as well as humanitarian. “The international community should rededicate itself to preventing conflict, addressing it when it erupts, and solving it more quickly,” she said. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the agency since 2001, was promoted to special envoy earlier this year.—AFP
