JOLIE AND PITT SET UP ETHIOPIA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT have donated $2 million (GBP1.1 million) to set up a children's hospital in Ethiopia.
The clinic will target kids suffering from tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS.
The pair chose Ethiopia because it's where their three-year-old adopted daughter Zahara was born.
Jolie and Pitt said in a statement, "It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission.
"Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease.
"The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable,"
Jolie and Pitt have helped set up a similar centre in Cambodia, the home country of their seven-year-old son Maddox.
