Angelina Jolie has travelled to Pakistan to help the aid relief following the devastating floods in the country.
The actress, who is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, flew to Islamabad yesterday to begin emergency raising funds for the thousands left homeless by the natural disaster.
Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt are also planning to film further appeals to persuade people to donate to the fundraising campaign.
"She's been in tears over the devastation and wants to do whatever she can to help. Brad is just as passionate about it and has spoken about going over too," a source told British newspaper The Sun.
"They may be Hollywood stars but they are genuine humanitarians."
In her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the UN High Commissioner on Refugees, Angelina recently recorded a public video to raise awareness for those affected by the floods.
She revealed 20 million Pakistanis were living under the threat of disease and called the flood an "economic and social catastrophe."
Angelina, 35, has already donated £65,000 to the crisis. Last year, the mother-of-six gave £650,000 to help Pakistanis displaced due to fighting Taliban militants.
