"None of this suffering is accidental. It is a direct result of decisions to bomb, to blockade, to besiege, to deport, and to look away. Violence, hunger, and the collapse of healthcare disproportionately affect those with the least ability to stop it or survive it: women, children, and the elderly," the actress wrote.

She also urged support for local organizations that help refugees and displaced persons.

"In more than twenty years of working with refugees, I have found that those closest to the center of a crisis know best how to respond – yet local organizations receive less than 10 percent of global humanitarian funding. Please learn more about the people doing this work and support them," Angelina Jolie stated.
