THE head of a Somali aid group says Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $US350,000 ($358,000) to help it expand its health services to the displaced mothers and children in the country.

The nation has been suffering from its worst famine in 60 years, and the United Nations says 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death in the next few months.

Mohamed Dahir of Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid says the donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation will allow his group to expand its lifesaving health services that serve 300 women and children each day in Mogadishu.
