Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $340,000 to a Somali aid group.
The donation to Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid from the power couple will allow the group to expand its reach - the group currently serves 300 women and children in a camp in Mogadishu for displaced persons.
The UN states that 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death in the next few years - Somalia is currently in the midst of its worst famine in 60 years, Yahoo reports.
