The international response to this crisis falls short of the vast scale of this human tragedy. Much more humanitarian aid is needed, and above all, a political settlement to this conflict must be found,” _femalefirst.co.u_k quoted Jolie as saying. Jolie last visited the Jordanian border in December 2012. IANS
