Angelina Jolie in Afghan appeal

Oct 24 - UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and Oscar-nominated actress Angelina Jolie appeals for more support for Afghan refugees returning home.

On her three-day visit, Jolie travelled to Nangahar province as well as the Lower Sheikh Mesri and Tangi settlement sites where recent returnees from Pakistan are living on desolate, desert land in tattered tents and makeshift shelters.

The actress spoke to children, men and women who are in the process of rebuilding their lives.

The Goodwill Ambassador is calling for more international commitment to solve this problem. Through her visit, she hopes to increase awareness of the refugee issue ahead of an international conference on return and reintegration to be held in Kabul next month.
