Angelina Jolie drew a parallel between refugees in Yemen and those suffering because of the War in Ukraine.
The actress, who has worked closely with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) for years, shared about the trip in a video on her verified Instagram account over the weekend.
“I landed in Aden to meet displaced families and refugees for UNHCR @refugees and show my support for the people of Yemen,” the caption read. “I will do my best to communicate as the days unfold.”
“As we continue to watch the horrors unfolding in Ukraine and call for an immediate end to the conflict and humanitarian access, I am here in Yemen to support people who also desperately need peace,” she continued.
“The situation here is one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with one civilian killed or injured every hour in 2022,” wrote Jolie, who served as UNHCR’s special envoy. “A war-torn economy and over 20 million Yeminis relying on humanitarian assistance to survive.”
In 2020, Jolie donated an undisclosed amount of money to two young Brits who opened a lemonade stand to raise money for those affected by the crisis in Yemen.
