Angelina Jolie puts aside her glamorous life to visit Ukrainian child refugees

Hollywood actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie has visited Ukrainian child refugees at the Vatican’s children hospital.

 The recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award and three Golden Globe Awards, put aside her glamorous life to carry out humanitarian aid work in Rome.

The much-loved star wowed kids, who have been forced from their homes and countries due to war, at the Bambino Gesu pediatric hospital outside of Vatican City. 

Angelina Jolie, who has been a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees since 2012, talked with a young child from Ukraine in an Italian children's hospital. A number of children from Ukraine sought refuge in Italy when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
