Sept. 13 2009, Published 2:20 p.m. ET
Saying it was "one of the most dire camps" she'd ever visited, Angelina Jolie spent Saturday at the world's largest refugee settlement on the Kenya border.
The Dadaab Refugee camp, built to house 90,000 is now teeming with 285,000 starving Somilian refugees who have escaped the terror of their own country and fled into Kenya.
The actress has been the Goodwill Ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Agency since 2001. She is hoping to bring the plight of the Somilian people to the public's attention.
