"She says they are coming in the next few days. We are still waiting for confirmation from headquarters," Vivian Tan, a spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Pakistan, told AFP.

Oscar-winner Jolie, a UNHCR goodwill ambassador, was quoted as saying by the BBC news website that she and Pitt would be travelling to Pakistan "within a matter of days".

The actors have been romantically linked since Pitt split from Friends star Jennifer Aniston and they starred together in the summer blockbuster movie Mr and Mrs Smith.

Jolie last visited Pakistan in May this year to highlight the plight of millions of Afghan refugees living in the South Asian country.

The refugee agency's headquarters in Geneva refused to confirm whether Jolie and Pitt were due to visit Pakistan "for security reasons".

The October 8 earthquake killed more than 73,000 people in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir and 1,300 people in Indian Kashmir. It also left more than three million people homeless.

Cambodian officials said Wednesday that Jolie has been given a passport by the Southeast Asian kingdom after being granted citizenship. Jolie adopted a Cambodian child, Maddox, in 2002.
