GENEVA (AFP) ― Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has donated $100,000 to aid Syrian refugees, the United Nations refugee agency said on Wednesday.
The Oscar-winning actress is a special envoy of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and made the donation on World Refugee Day.
In a statement marking the occasion Jolie said the solutions to the world’s growing number of displaced people were political as well as humanitarian.
“The international community should rededicate itself to preventing conflict, addressing it when it erupts, and solving it more quickly,” she said.

“The international community should rededicate itself to preventing conflict, addressing it when it erupts, and solving it more quickly,” she said.
“For that is the only way to create durable solutions for the refugees whose strength inspires us on this World Refugee Day.”
Tens of thousands of Syrians have fled their country amid a bloody crackdown on dissent by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, with most going to Turkey and Lebanon.
Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the agency since 2001, was promoted to special envoy earlier this year.
