Angelina Jolie in the Mideast

Angelina Jolie meets with refugees on the Jordanian border minutes after they crossed from Syria on Sept. 10, 2012, in Amman, Jordan. With shelling clearly audible and visible across the border in Syria, some 200 refugees made the dangerous crossing under cover of night. Authorities estimate hundreds of families are fleeing the violence and seeking safety across the border every night.
