The Oscar winning actress and humanitarian, 36, will meet some of the more than 9,600 refugees who have fled a bloody crackdown on Syrian anti-government protesters.

Jolie -- the Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees -- is expected to arrive in the Turkish province of Hatay on Friday afternoon.

Jolie will be greeted at the refugee camp with a 16-yard banner reading "Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome," according to the Associated Press.
