Hollywood superstar ANGELINA JOLIE has recorded a public service announcement to help raise awareness about World Refugee Day.
In the new TV ad, the pregnant star - a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency - describes the hardship millions of refugees face when their country is at war.
As video footage of their plight is played, Jolie says, "They have survived the war, they have survived displacement, they have survived rape, they have survived hunger and disease. For those who have survived and for those who did not, we are thinking of you on this day."
The clip began airing online on Wednesday morning (18Jun08) in preparation of World Refugee Day on 20 June (08).
But Jolie's humanitarian efforts do not end there - she is also set to write an article for a leading U.S. newspaper to coincide with World Refugee Day.
