MALAYO mula sa glamorosong pamumuhay sa Hollywood na marami ang mga artistang naglalakad sa red carpet para sa 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards, si Angelina Jolie ay nagtungo naman sa northern Iraq noong Linggo, Enero 25. Dinalaw ng Unbroken director, 39, ang mga biktima ng ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) na inilipat sa kampo.
Bilang U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, binisita ni Jolie ang Khanke Camp for Internally Displaced People na pansamantalang tirahan ng sampung libong pamilya na napilitang lumisan sa kani-kanilang tahanan nang salakayin sila ng Islamic State.
Pagkatapos batiin at makadaupang-palad ang mga tao, nagbigay si Jolie ng talumpati, at hinimok ng world leaders na humakbang at tumulong upang magwakas ang gulong namamagitan sa Syria at Iraq.

“Too many innocent people are paying the price of the conflict in Syria and spread of extremism. The international community has to step up and do more,” pahayag ng Oscar winner (sa pamamagitan ng The Daily Mail). “It is not enough to defend our values at home. We have to defend them here, in the camps and in the informal settlements across the Middle East, and in the ruined towns of Iraq and Syria. We are being tested here, as an international community, and so far – for all the immense efforts and good intentions – we are failing.”
“I have met mothers whose children have been kidnapped by ISIL,” kuwento ng asawa ni Brad Pitt. “As a parent, I couldn’t imagine a greater horror. They are overwhelmed by thoughts of what is happening to their children. Nothing can prepare you for the horrific stories of these survivors of kidnap, abuse and exploitation and to see how they cannot all get the urgent help they need and deserve.”
