  2. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Donate $1 Million to Doctors Without Borders for Haiti Relief

    Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have made good on their promise to reach out to victims of the massive earthquake that struck the island of Haiti on Tuesday.

    The couple donated $1 million to the Doctors Without Borders for the organization’s emergency medical operations in Haiti, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.

    “It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades,” Jolie — who has served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations since 2001 — said in a statement.

    Pitt — who, along with Jolie, has been a longtime supporter of Doctors Without Borders — added, “We understand the first response is critical to serve the immediate needs of countless people who are now displaced from their homes, are suffering trauma, and most require urgent care”.
    The Jolie-Pitt Foundation is donating the funds to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres, whose three hospitals in Port-au-Prince were severely damaged, forcing the staff to work out of open-air hospitals.
