Angelina Jolie donates 100,000 dollars to aid Pakistan

PARIS: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, in Europe to promote her spy thriller “Salt”, has handed 100,000 dollars (78,000 euros) to help refugees from Pakistan's floods, UN sources told AFP.

A crowd of 1,000 fans engulfed the 34-year-old actress, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, when she stepped out of a limousine in Paris on Tuesday evening clad in a short shiny number with plunging neckline for the French premiere of the movie.

A UNHCR source attending the gala screening said she had donated the sum to help relieve Pakistan, where aid has been short and slow in coming.

Angelina Jolie is leading donations for the flood relief effort in Pakistan - the superstar has handed over $100,000 (£66,666) of her own money to help those worst affected.

The actress, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations (U.N.), called for her fans to help raise funds for the Pakistani people whose lives have been devastated by the floods which hit the country last month.

And as the death toll reaches more than 2,000 and fears increase about the spread of water-borne diseases, Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt have donated part of their fortune to help boost aid for the country, according to news agency Afp.

The Tomb Raider star frequently gives away money to help others - she donated $1 million (£666,666) to Doctors Without Borders to help earthquake survivors in Haiti earlier this year, as well as handing over $75,000 (£50,000) to build a girls school in Afghanistan.
