Angelina Jolie to aid flood hit Italy

London: Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie has once again turned up for a humanitarian cause and has pledged to help flood-ravaged victims near her Italian home. The `Salt` star who owns a house in Italy`s north-east Veneto region with partner Brad Pitt, has donated cash after the area suffered rising water levels following a spate of heavy rains, reported Daily Telegraph.

Several residents have been forced to flee from their home while others had to be rescued after being trapped in the floods. The 35-year-old actress, who is a UN Goodwill Ambassador and is involved in various phlilanthropic work, has also offered to head fundraising appeals to help boost efforts to overcome the floods. PTI
