Angelina Jolie, 35, has made it her personal mission as the United Nation's Refugee Agency's Goodwill Ambassador to turn thoughts toward the devastation left by flooding in Pakistan. The Salt star has toured areas awash in flood waters and wreckage, which have affected roughly 21 million people.

Yet despite being victim to one of the world's worst natural disasters in recent years, the country is still not getting close to what it needs.

According to reports, the disaster in Pakistan has affected nearly 7 times as many people as the earthquake in Haiti, yet only a fraction of the aid donated to Haiti has been pledged to Pakistan.

"There's lots of speculation about why this one has not gotten the attention it deserves," Jolie said. "Even all of the wonderful coverage ... is not getting the response that usually it's able to get."

In an interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the actress says people may be feeling "fatigue when it comes to disaster relief."

Still, Angelina Jolie says the aid must be increased. In the interview she also says that in the four times she has visited the country, she has gotten to know the people of Pakistan and developed a connection with the culture.
