The Oscar winning actress and humanitarian, 36, will meet some of the more than 9,600 refugees who have fled a bloody crackdown on Syrian anti-government protesters.
Jolie -- the Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees -- is expected to arrive in the Turkish province of Hatay on Friday afternoon.

In April, the actress traveled to Tunisia during its refugee crisis as thousands fled from its war-torn neighbor, Libya.
