Jolie visits Syria refugees

Angelina Jolie has warned refugees are "running out of places to run to" after figures showed almost 60 million people around the world are currently displaced.

The actress, who is a special envoy to the United Nations, has been in Turkey to visit a refugee camp in Mardin in south-eastern Turkey as part of events marking World Refugee Day today.

There, she met some of the people who had been forced to flee the ongoing war in Syria.

Angelina Jolie listens to a question during a news conference following a visit to the Midyat refugee camp.

Jolie is in Turkey as part of her work as special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees Antonio Guterres.

Both are expected to visit the camp, which shelters those who have fled the four-year conflict in neighbouring Syria.

The visit is the latest in a series of trips the Hollywood star has made to Turkey, which hosts the greatest number of refugees in the world – 1.59 million, according to the latest UN figures.

Jolie was spotted walking around town, briefly stepping into a handicraft shop accompanied by her daughter Shiloh and minders.

The UN says the number of Syrian refugees seeking its help now tops two million - and could be far higher.
