Tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees have returned home from Syria and other neighboring countries over the past year, but many more are unable or unwilling to return to a country still shaken by violence.
United Nations' refugee agency, UNHCR, and was accompanied by her partner, Brad Pitt, the agency said.
"Most Iraqi refugees cannot return to Iraq in view of the severe trauma they experienced there, the uncertainty linked to the coming Iraqi elections, the security issues and the lack of basic services," a UNHCR statement quoted Jole as saying, "They will, therefore, be in
need of continued support from the international community"
She was referring to Iraqi parliamentary elections scheduled for Jan.16.
It was the Academy Award-winning actress' second visit to Syria in two years. On Friday, she visited Damascus' poorest suburbs where she was welcomed by two Iraqi families.
She also discussed the Iraqi refugee crisis with Syrian President Bashar Assad and his wife, Asma, UNHCR said.
UNHCR estimates that more than 4.2 million Iraqis have left their homes since the beginning of the conflict in 2003.
