GENEVA - June 18, 2009 The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says it is grateful for
the donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. It said Thursday the
money will go to alleviating suffering caused by the "most
challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."
UNHCR says over 2 million Pakistanis have been driven from their
homes this year by fighting between government troops and Taliban
militants in the northwest of the country.
Jolie has visited refugees in Pakistan on three missions since
becoming goodwill ambassador for the agency in 2001. The
Oscar-winning actress took Pitt with her on one such visit in 2005.
