Brad Pitt on Daddy duty as Angelina Jolie visits refugees in Iraq

Brad Pitt and daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt spent some quality time together in Central Park, New York City while Angelina Jolie visited refugees on the Iraq - Syria border as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Jolie also privately met American troops and other multi-national forces in the region.


Zahara seems to have fallen in love with Central Park when she visited it along with mother Jolie and brothers Maddox and Pax, on Saturday.


She was back again Tuesday, this time with Pitt doing Daddy duty because Jolie flew from New York to Syria on Monday, 27 Aug 2007.

Pitt and Zahra took a horse and carriage ride through the Park, stopping on the way to allow Brad to buy Zahra some ice-cream. While she obviously loves Ice cream, Zahrara isn't yet dexterous enough to eat it without messing herself up good. Pitt did the honors of cleaning her up Tuesday just as Jolie did so on Saturday.


Zahra and Pitt also frolicked on the lush green grass with Pitt once giving the delighted 2 years and 8 months old Ethiopia born girl the chase.

Other children and parents enjoying the afternoon in the park came over to meet the famous actor and his daughter.

Elsewhere in the world Jolie visited a UNHCR registration center Monday (27 Aug 2007) and spent hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.

On Tuesday she visited the Al Waleed camp in Iraq, a makeshift outpost on the country's border with Syria, to meet with 1,200 refugees camped there because they are unable to leave the country.

She also witnessed dozens of Iraqis crossing into Syria.

"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a statement. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."
