Angelina Jolie, a Hollywood actress, visited Lviv, Ukraine on Saturday to meet with people displaced by the war with Russia. She then left after the sirens sounded and returned to Lviv.

Jolie (46) is a special envoy of the United Nations refugee agency. It claims that more than  12.7 million people fled their homes within the last two months. This represents 30% of Ukraine's prewar population.

Jolie met volunteers who were working with the displaced. They told Jolie that each psychiatrist on duty spoke to approximately 15 people per day. Volunteers say that many of the children stationed there are between two and ten-year-olds.

"They must be in shock... She replied, "They must be in shock...

One time, during her visit to the station she tickled a little girl in red who giggled in delight. She took photos with some children and volunteers.

Jolie and her assistants quickly left the station to get into a waiting vehicle when air-raid sirens began to sound later.

Jolie was appointed special envoy to Yemen last month. There, millions of people were forced from their homes by war.
