In an interview with CNN, Jolie called for more to be done to help Iraqi families driven from their homes.

"There are over two million displaced people and there never seems to be a real coherent plan to help them," she told CNN.

"Of the two million internally displaced, it's estimated 58% are under 12 years old. It's a very high number of people in a very, very vulnerable situation and a lot of young kids."

In August 2007, she met some of the 1,200 Iraqis stranded on the border between Iraq and Syria and appealed for more international support for those affected by the Iraq conflict.
