Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Donate $1 Million to Refugees

Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated $1 million to a U.N. refugee agency to help Pakistanis displaced by fighting between troops and Taliban militants, the Washington Post reports.

Jolie, a "goodwill ambassador" for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees since 2001, has visited Pakistan three times to witness United Nations relief operations.

The refugee agency said it was grateful for the donation from Pitt and Jolie. More than 2 million people in Pakistan were uprooted this year as a result of the conflict in the northwest part of the country.

The agency also said that most Pakistanis forced to flee their homes are living in government buildings or with host families, but 260,000 of them are in camps run by the U.N. Refugee agency, the UNHCR.

The $1 million was donated through the celebrity couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which donated $2 million in September to help children in Ethiopia suffering from disease.

According to CNN.com, Jolie spoke of her visits to refugee camps in Tanzania and Pakistan at the ceremony for World Refugee Day in Washington D.C. on Thursday.
