Angelina to visit Syrian refugees

American actress and Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie arrived at the Zaatari camp in a military helicopter to visit Syrian refugees in Jordan. Press cameras, however, were banned from accompanying Jolie in her encounters with Syrian refugees, leaving journalists to protest the ban and the ill treatment of escorts. The camp area saw security mobilisation and alertness at the highest degree. Camp gates were completely closed, while no one was allowed to enter from outside the camp. Ambulances also entered the camp shortly before the visit. The acclaimed actress is expected to donate $800,000 in aids to Zaatari camp in Jordan where many Syrian refugees are staying after fleeing conflict. She spoke to many of the Syrian refugees and became tearful listening to their stories. "Little children who were asked what they saw described body parts separated and burnt people being pulled apart like chicken," Jolie told reporters after her two-day visit to Jordan's Zaatari camp. "It's been a very heavy experience because often at times you come to these camps and rarely do you meet them as they cross the border and get to know people the moment they become a refugee," she said, stopping to compose herself. Jolie is known for her charity work and currently serves as UNHCR good will ambassador for refugee affairs.
