BAGHDAD,— Hollywood star Angelina Jolie met
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari on Saturday to
discuss measures to care for Syrian refugees in
Iraq, the foreign ministry said.
They discussed "the situation of Syrian refugees in
Iraq and steps taken by the Iraqi government to
ensure a decent life for them," the ministry said.
Zebari said Iraq was hosting more than 20,000
Syrians who fled the bloodshed in their country.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees says the
number of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries
have exceeded 250,000.
Jolie, a special UN envoy, will
head Sunday to
Erbil, the capital of autonomous Kurdistan region in
Iraq's north, to meet Syrian refugees housed in
camps at Duhok.
Before travelling to Iraq, Jolie already visited
Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
