George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin met a Syrian mother Mona and her 11-year-old daughter Joudi following their sit-down with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The actor, 54, and his lawyer wife solemnly listened to her story as she explained why she needed to escape, reported Ace Showbiz.
The husband and wife duo also met with two other Syrian families.
"It was an honor to meet three Syrian families whose lives have been shattered by war and inspiring to learn that the people of Germany are helping them put their lives back together," George said.
Clooney has been raising awareness of refugee crisis while in Berlin with his wife to promote his new movie "Hail Caesar".
They offered their support for Angela Merkel's policy to open the door for asylum seekers amid the increasing pressure she faced for welcoming the refugees.
