Angelina Jolie is looking painfully thin as she meets the Prime Minister in Pakistan

Angelina Jolie was looking painfully thin as she met with the Prime Minister of Pakistan yesterday.
The 35-year-old's taupe baggy dress did little to hide her skeletal frame and her thin bony wrists were clearly visible as she shook hands with Yousaf Raza Gillani at his house in Islamabad.
Jolie is in Pakistan in her role of United Nations goodwill ambassador to raise awareness of the plight of the victims of the recent floods that have devastated the country.

More than 1,500 Pakistanis have been killed and around 20million affected by flooding brought on by the annual monsoon rains last month.

Crops have been devastated and disease is spreading among survivors.


'I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to do something to help bring attention to the situation for all of the people in need in Pakistan,'  Jolie said.
‘This is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is an economic and social catastrophe.

Cover-up: Jolie's baggy taupe tunic did nothing to camouflage her skeletal frame

Earlier in the day the actress covered her head up in a black scarf, and did her best to blend in with a group of women she was meeting who had lost their children in the disaster. 
Jolie was visiting the Kandaro II Camp in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
'I was shocked especially by how high the flood waters went,' Jolie told reporters. 'In some of the people's houses, it was nine feet high.'
The U.N. hopes Jolie's visit will bring attention and subsequent funds to the country.
Only $294 million of the $460 million in emergency funds requested by the UN has been received so far, despite what Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, calls: 'One of the worst humanitarian disasters in UN history, in terms of number of people that we have to assist and also the area covered.'
'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.'

The Salt star also had some sharp words for a Florida church planning to burn copies of the Quran to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City.
'I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody's religious book,' Jolie told reporters in Islamabad after her visit to the refugee camp, according to the Associated Press.
Jolie has been looking particularly gaunt again recently.
She looked startlingly skinny as she took twins Vivienne and Knox to visit their father Brad Pitt on set in Los Angeles last week.

Scrawny arms exposed by a sleeveless top and minuscule legs highlighted by tight black trousers, she looked barely strong enough to carry Vivienne.
But she was obviously in full 'mummy mode' as she had one of the childrens' blankets flung casually over one shoulder and the other in her mouth.
Jolie recently appeared on screen in action thriller Salt where her role as a hard-as-nails CIA agent sat a little uncomfortably with her frail physique.
