LONDON: (APP) Angelina Jolie cry for migrants of Europe
UN special envoy Angelina Jolie Pitt urged the international community on Monday to respond to Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II with generosity and not the "politics of fear".
In a speech in London, the Oscar-winning Hollywood actress said there was a "duty that falls on all of us" to help those fleeing their homes, warning the alternative was "chaos".
The American star also had criticism for US presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has proposed building a wall to stop Mexican immigrants and called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.
"It is hard to hear that this is coming from somebody who is pressing to be an American president," she said in a question and answer session after her speech.
"America is built on people coming together for freedom, especially freedom of religion."
Conflicts, including the five-year war in Syria, have fuelled a global refugee crisis, with 60 million refugees and displaced people across the world.
