Angelina Jolie visited refugees on Tuesday at the Libya-Tunisia border as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
The actress, according to The Hollywood Reporter, met with the UNHCR official running refugee camps after spending time in two tests with refugee families.
“We’re tired of being here! We want to return to Nigeria, take us with you!” one Nigerian refugee shouted at Angelina.
And for safety reasons, Angelina had to cancel half of her visit after a crowd grew too excited by the Angelina’s visit, X17 reports.
Angelina is working for more international aid for the refugees and personally contributed an “important donation” with her partner Brad Pitt.
Over the last month, more than 400,000 people have fled from Libya due to fighting between rebels and leader Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.
Angelina reportedly praised the government of Tunisia for its generosity toward refugees.
