Angelina Jolie: World Refugee Day Press Conference in Jordan

Angelina Jolie sits in front of an audience at a press conference to mark World Refugee Day in Al-Zaatari Refugee Camp for Syrian refugees on Thursday (June 20) near Mafraq, Jordan.

The 38-year-old actress and UNHCR Special Envoy was joined at the front table by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres and Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide.

“I appeal to the world leaders – please, set aside your differences, unite to end the violence, and make diplomacy succeed,” Angelina said at the event (via the New York Daily News).

Earlier in the week, Angelina met with some refugees and listened to their stories.
