Angelina with Tham Hin Refugees
As part of her work as a UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina spent Christmas day in Costa Rica with (mostly) Colombian refugee children and their families.
After arriving in San Jose, Jolie made the following statement, “The conflict in Colombia is the greatest humanitarian tragedy in the Western Hemisphere, but it receives very little international attention, my Christmas message to Colombian refugees and to the millions of displaced people in Colombia is that the world has not totally forgotten them.”
Approximately three million Colombians have been forced from out of their homes and towns during more than two decades of conflict, however a large portion remain in Colombia. In addition, approximately 500,000 have fled to other countries in the surrounding areas. According to the UNHCR, the misplaced Colombian refugees make up the largest single population of concern anywhere in the world.
UNHCR said this is Angelina’s second trip to the region.
