As a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations, Angelina Jolie has travelled to many refugee camps. This time she is in Baghdad, Iraq trying to get information on the internally displaced people of the country.

“She’s here in her official capacity to talk to government officials, the military and the United Nations about Iraq’s refugees and displaced persons,” Staffan de Mistura, the U.N. envoy to Baghdad, told Reuters.

In an interview with CNN this morning, Jolie — who is not traveling with beau Brad Pitt or her children — said she felt compelled to come to the war-torn region to bring attention to the plight of refugees.

“I felt I had to come here because it is very difficult to get answers about the internally displaced people,” she said.
