Angelina Jolie Black and White Photography from Chad and Darfur

Actress and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie wrapped up a two-day trip (February 28th) to a refugee camp in eastern Chad housing refugees from Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region, praising humanitarian workers for their tireless efforts in providing assistance while calling for more aid to those in need. New black and white photos from her trip have been released.

“Years into this situation, now finding themselves coming under attack, humanitarian workers’ spirits are unbroken,” she said, on her first trip to the region since visiting both Chad and Darfur three years ago.

At the same time, Ms. Jolie called for greater support to aid refugees, such as those she met in the Oure-Cassoni camp, which is home to 26,000 refugees and is less than five kilometres from Chad’s border with Sudan.

“It’s always hard to see decent people, families, living in such difficult conditions,” she said. “What is most upsetting is how long it is taking the international community to answer this crisis.”
