UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie will travel to Colombia’s border area with Venezuela on Friday to assess the humanitarian response to the exodus of Venezuelan refugees and migrants – the largest and fastest movement of people in Latin America’s recent history.

Jolie is undertaking a two-day mission to evaluate the enormous challenges that Colombia and other host countries are facing in responding to this unprecedented crisis.

During her visit, the Special Envoy, together with UNHCR’s Deputy High Commissioner, Kelly Clements, will meet with the Colombian Government and various organizations contributing to the humanitarian response along with Venezuelans and Colombians hosting them.
