PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie Reaches Out to African Refugees

www.nazrett.com Home of Ethiopian News and Blog Breaking News While other A-listers let their checkbooks do the talking, Angelina Jolie is back in Africa spreading good will in person. On Saturday, she spent the day visiting a dangerously crowded camp for Somali refugees. The Dadaab camp, on the Kenyan-Somali border, was opened in 1991 to house up to 90,000 people, but the population is now 285,000 – and growing by as much as 7,000 people a month. Experts say a deadly cholera outbreak is likely with the rainy season coming in October. "The Somali families I met today are full of warmth and affection," said Jolie, who is a UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador. "I wish more people could meet them, then they would have a stronger desire to help." – Michael Y. Park Photo by: Boris Heger / UNHCR
