Ever the humanitarian and spreader of goodwill, Angelina Jolie traveled to Turkey to visit thousands of Syrian refugees amid the unrest in that nation, and as part of her duties as an ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
To commemorate World Refugee day June 20, Jolie and the UNHCR are calling attention to the realities of war and terror and how they affect families.
Angelina Jolie: From the red carpet to the front lines.
"Every day, thousands of people run from war, persecution and terror," she says.
"Even one is too many. One family forced to flee is too many. One child growing up in a camp is too many. One refugee without hope is too many."
Jolie made the trip from Malta, where she is staying along with partner Brad Pitt and their six children as he films his next movie, to Turkey.
As always, we applaud her humanitarian efforts.
