Angelina Jolie laments flight of war victims after visiting Jordan refugee camp

Hollywood A-lister and UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie visited Azraq refugee camp in Jordan while calling actions on the implementation of humanitarian laws to people caught in war.

After seeing the conditions of the refugees, Jolie called on the necessity for an international assistance to alleviate the condition of the refugees most especially the families that were displaced during the crisis.

She lamented on the poor deliveries of humanitarian aid at the refugee camp as there were no food delivered to the victims since August.

During a press conference, she gave strong remark regarding the absence of humanitarian aid while exposing the flight of the refugees.

Amid their conditions, these people considered themselves lucky as there are still millions of Syrians trapped inside war zones, the People's Magazine quoted Jolie saying.

With the poor condition of the refugee camp, as also described in The Jerusalem Post, Jolie directed the blame not to the Jordan government but to the lawmakers around the world for not providing sufficient humanitarian aids to the victims of war.

"So my message to world leaders, as they prepare to gather at the UN General Assembly in 10 days' time, is to ask that the fundamental root causes of the Syria conflict, and what it will take to end it, are put at the center of the discussion," she said.

She reiterated that these refugees do not deserve a passive aid but a concrete political solution by effectively implementing humanitarian laws.

In addition, she also delivered a surprise speech before the UN Summit emphasizing that there should also be more number of women who will be involved in the peace process.

In time with her efforts in asking UN Leaders to strengthen humanitarian laws for the refugees, it is also the timely to get serious in dealing with issues relating to Syrian conflicts.
