"The threat of climate change, the competition for resources, and ever growing global inequality have created deepening intractable conflicts. Whether it be Darfur, Myanmar or the Swat Valley or some as yet unknown crisis. Mass migrations will be a feature of our future. And we must adjust to this looming reality."

UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie teared up as she spoke at a World Refugee Day event in Washington, D.C.

"Refugees are not numbers.They're not even just refugees. They are mothers, and daughters and fathers and sons. They are farmers, teachers, doctors, engineers. They're individuals, all. And most of all, they are survivors," she said telling stories of her personal experiences.

"The threat of climate change, the competition for resources, and ever growing global inequality have created deepening intractable conflicts. Whether it be Darfur, Myanmar or the Swat Valley or some as yet unknown crisis. Mass migrations will be a feature of our future. And we must adjust to this looming reality," Jolie said.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $1 million to the U.N. refugee agency providing aid to hundreds of thousands uprooted by violence in Pakistan.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says it is grateful for the donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. It said Thursday the money will go to alleviating suffering caused by the "most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."

UNHCR says over 2 million Pakistanis have been driven from their homes this year by fighting between government troops and Taliban militants in the northwest of the country.

Jolie has visited refugees in Pakistan on three missions since becoming goodwill ambassador for the agency in 2001. The Oscar-winning actress took Pitt with her on one such visit in 2005.
