From 2014 until the beginning of 2017."  "Angelina Jolie donated $ 2 million from her personal account to the victims of the old city of Mosul." Jolie wandered among the buildings bombed in the narrow streets of the old city and met displaced families to discuss efforts to rebuild the city and the needs of returning residents. Who blew him up.

"People have lost everything here, their homes have been destroyed, they are destitute, they have no medicine for their children, many have no running water or basic services, they are still surrounded," the statement quoted Jolie as saying. With bodies in the rubble, after the unimaginable trauma of the occupation, are now trying to rebuild their homes, often with little or no help. "  "Despite the grief and shock of the people, they are also optimistic. They are removing their homes with their hands, volunteering and helping each other, but they need our help."

"As an international community, we often tend to assume that when the fighting is over, the work is done, but the conditions I have observed here in western Mosul are appalling, the displacement is still happening, the camps near the city are still full, entire areas of western Mosul are still flat, Of the return and stability of the city is essential for the stability of Iraq and the region in the future.
