'There are some changes. There are returns of displaced people, not a big number, but there is progress. This is a moment where things seem to be improving on the ground, but Iraqis need a lot of support and help to rebuild their lives,' she said.

Jolie has vowed to return to do all she can to help refugees rebuild their lives.

'I want to come back and find you in a better place and in a different situation. We hope that UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and the government will support you in getting a piece of land. You need help not because you are poor, but because you are the future of Iraq,' she was quoted as telling the people.

The actress's trip to the Middle East began Tuesday when she flew in with her seven-year-old son Maddox to attend the Arab Children's Congress in Amman, Jordan, where she was a guest of honour.
