Angelina Jolie greeted people while visiting a camp for Iraqis, who were forced to leave their residence, on Sunday in Khanke, Iraq.
Jolie, 39, took a tour of the place before giving a speech.
"Since I was last here in Iraq, another two million people have been forced from their homes. Mostly in the last six months - this time Iraqi citizens," Jolie claimed, noting: "Too many innocent people are paying the price of the conflict in Syria and spread of extremism. The international community has to step up and do more."
Angelina went on: "It is not enough to defend our values at home. We have to defend them here, in the camps and in the informal settlements across the Middle East, and in the ruined towns of Iraq and Syria", adding: "We are being tested here, as an international community, and so far - for all the immense efforts and good intentions - we are failing."
