Last week the actress released a video appealing for more donations. Across Pakistan, nearly 21 million people have been affected by the disaster.

The 34-year-old visited affected communities where millions of long-term Afghan refugees reside.

"UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie arrived in Pakistan today to meet people affected by the floods and to highlight the continued urgent need for help," the UNHCR said in a statement.

The UNHCR says that it expects to ask for more money in the coming days. It says that pledges of aid have been slow and that it still needs $120m for tents and other supplies.

In the south of Pakistan, areas are being newly-flooded even as the long process of reconstruction begins in the north.

Well over a million people have been forced to live in schools.

This is the fourth visit by Ms Jolie to Pakistan since she became a UNHCR goodwill ambassador in 2001.

The video message she released last week appealed for greater public support for Pakistan's relief efforts. She has personally donated $100,000 to the flood appeal.

The UNHCR is providing relief aid including shelter materials to those displaced by the disaster, which officially has killed 1,760 people.
