ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif acknowledged “empathy and compassion” of United Nations special envoy Angelina Jolie, who is currently on visit to Pakistan in solidarity with flood-affected people. “Pakistan thanks Angelina Jolie, a special UN envoy and other unsung heroes for becoming voice of millions of people whose lives and livelihoods have been destroyed by raging floodwaters,” he said in a tweet. Prime Minister said, “We will forever remember their empathy and compassion for suffering humanity.” Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie visited flood-hit areas and urged international community to do more as millions of people are in trouble in flood-hit areas of Pakistan. During her visit to National Flood Response Coordination Centre late Wednesday, Jolie said that she has never seen anything like this disaster before.

Besides Jolie, renowned Islamic scholar Mufti Menk and Turkish actor Celal Al also visited flood-affected areas of Pakistan and extended assistance to families who suffered devastation.
