While her partner Brad Pitt is still working on his new film in the southern European country, the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has been making a huge impact with several humanitarian visits in the region.
Last week, Jolie have been met with Syrian refugees in Turkey. Now, she's visiting 2 centers housing asylum-seekers in Malta and on the island of Lampedusa.
These 2 centers are hosting over 1,500 refugees who have fled the violence from war-embattled Malta to Libya this year.
"Malta has saved many lives, but it is the daily conditions on the ground that are of most concern," Jolie said in Malta on Sunday morning. "We have spent time today speaking with the government and will spend more talking about how, together, we can make conditions more humane. We've spoken about our shared concerns about making sure asylum claims are processed as quickly as possible so no-one is sitting in a prison-like situation and waiting on a decision about their status," she added.by FW Editor |
