Hollywood actress turned producer Angelina Jolie, paid a visit to Iraq's refugee camp as a special envoy to U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, to meet the survivors of an ISIS attack, according to a report on the website of UNHCR.

The Khanke camp, which lies in Dohuk, in the northern region of Iraq, has been housing internally displaced people of the country as a result of the militant attacks. The actress met many families who were affected badly due to the attacks, many losing family members. The camp mainly has Yazidis residing, who have been forced to abandon their homes in Mosul, which has been invaded by the Islamic State.

During a press conference, after the meeting, Joile said, 'It is not enough to defend our values at home. We have to defend them here, in the camps and in the informal settlements across the Middle East, and in the ruined towns of Iraq and Syria. We are being tested here, as an international community, and so far - for all the immense efforts and good intentions - we are failing,' she said at a press conference at the Khanke Camp for Internally Displaced People (IDPs)."

She also added, "The spill-over from the Syria conflict has been devastating. The brutality of the conflict and speed and scale of the displacement has shocked the world. Help has come, but not nearly enough," according to The Daily Mail.

After her visit to the refugee, the actress wrote a column in the New York Times describing her experience. She wrote, "I have visited Iraq five times since 2007, and I have seen nothing like the suffering I'm witnessing now," according to the New York Times.

The Kurds have been fighting the Islamic State militants since the Summer of 2014 in the northern region of the country.

More than 750 Peshmerga (largely improvised military forces of Iraqi Kurdistan) have been killed in combat since Islamic State overran their defenses in northern Iraq last summer, prompting the first airstrikes by the United States, according to Reuters.
