"The threat of drones was constant, heavy. You can hear a quiet hum in the sky. Locals call it a "human safari" where drones are constantly used to track, hunt and terrorize people. There was a moment when we had to stop and wait for a drone to fly overhead," Jolie said .
She emphasized that she was wearing protective gear, and it was only a few days for her, while local families live in such conditions all the time.
"They moved their schools, clinics, and kindergartens to fortified basements, determined that life would go on. It was hard but inspiring to watch. Many people have spoken to me about the psychological burden of living under constant threat – and the deeper fear of being forgotten by the world," said the Hollywood actress .
She added that it is "hard to understand" how in a world with such strong diplomatic capabilities, civilians in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Yemen, Congo and many other places suffer every day.
