Jolie toured several of Pakistan's flood-ravaged communities on Tuesday and spent time with families who lost their homes during the disaster, according to The AP.
The actress, who was dressed in the region's traditional long black robe, told reporters gathered in Jalozai that meeting the people of Pakistan has had a profound effect on her life.
"I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to, today and tomorrow, be able to do something to help bring attention to the situation for all of the people in need in Pakistan," she said.
UN Assistant Secretary General Ajay Chhibber suggested during a simultaneous visit to Islamabad that the Salt star's visit will have a “a very big impact” on increasing aid for the country.
Chhibber further explained: "We need more... well-known figures who can keep the spotlight and focus because people tend to forget internationally."
