Angelina Upset By Refugee's Faces


ANGELINA JOLIE was overcome with emotion during a recent speech as a United Nations ambassador - because she saw the haunting faces of refugee children. The actress was addressing the Olympic Aid Forum in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the plight of refugee children when she broke down.

But Jolie has laughed off reports she was ill. She says, "It was emotional. I was there to express what I had observed with children in refugee camps and why I felt they needed some activities to keep their minds off things and rebuild their confidence and their strength. That's very emotional because you're thinking of the hundreds of children you've seen traumatised and wanting to get them help. "
