Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has arrived in Iraq on a surprise visit as a United Nations goodwill ambassador.

The 32-year-old is in Baghdad to promote action to help the two million people displaced by Iraq's war.

In an interview with CNN, Jolie called for more to be done to help Iraqi families driven from their homes.

She had lunch with US troops and held a meeting with US General David Petraeus, senior diplomats and Iraq's minister for displaced people.
