Angelina Jolie visited a settlement for displaced Iraqis in northwest Baghdad in her role as a UN ambassador.

It was the actor's third trip to Iraq. She spent her time meeting families whose children could not go to school and they could not afford to pay for medical treatment.

Jolie stayed for one day and said there is progress in returning Iraqis to their homes after years of war, but more needs to be done.

"This is a moment where things seem to be improving on the ground, but Iraqis need a lot of support and help to rebuild their lives."
