Angelina Jolie, 49, shared a photo ·of her visit to the African country of Chad on Instagram, as reported by People Network on September 26.
"The conflict in Sudan has displaced more than 10 million people in the country, with more than 2 million people fleeing to neighbouring countries," Angelina said. As Angelina writes, about 25.6 million people in the region are facing acute hunger.
Angelina, who held several positions at the UNHCR from 2001 to 2022, continues to monitor the international situation and continues her humanitarian work to this day.
Angelina also urged the United Nations to "scale up the humanitarian response in Sudan and the region" on the occasion of the 2024 UN General Assembly in New York City.
"I have heard that these refugees have endured unspeakable violence and have lost everything. The support of local aid workers has been a lifeline for refugees forgotten by the world. Angelina said in a statement about her visit.
"It's unbelievable to see what they [the rescuers] have worked so hard to achieve and the lives they have managed to save, while world leaders have been silent or doing the opposite." Angelina is not only known to the world as an Oscar-winning actress, but also a mother of 6 children, so when she sees displaced refugee children, she always shows sadness and pity in her eyes, which is moving.
Angelina also praised the efforts of Chadian volunteer groups, while stressing the greater need for international support in the region.
"The efforts of these groups are unbelievable – they do so much and spend so little." Angelina added, "But they can't cope with this massive crisis without adequate international support and funding." I urge governments to help ensure that these volunteers receive the funding, protection and international solidarity they need. ”
Angelina wrote on social media that she hopes the UN General Assembly will make a decision, not just a conversation. "Every hour counts because lives are at stake." She stressed.
Angelina also incorporates the desire for world peace into her work. Speaking about her new film, "Without Blood," Angelina describes how she works on humanitarian work in war-torn areas.
"I have never experienced a war, and I have never lost a family member to an armed conflict. But I have some people that I care about very much and who have had this experience. Angelina said in an interview, "I've seen people who have nothing give it their all. I've also seen people who are indifferent to this. ”
