••• ANGELINA JOLIE VISITE L'IRAQ ET SE REND AUPRÈS DES RÉFUGIÉS IRAQUIENS: L'ambassadrice de bonne volonté de l'UNHCR témoigne de la crise humanitaire: 28 août 2007 (MaximsNews.com, U.N.)

UNITED NATIONS - / www.MaximsNews.com@ U.N./ 28 August  2007 – - Angelina Jolie, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, yesterday visited both Iraq and Syria to witness first-hand the plight of hundreds of thousands of families uprooted by the war.

The U.N. estimates that more than 4.2 million Iraqis have been forced to leave their homes -- 2 million fleeing to neighbouring states and another 2.2 million fleeing their homes within Iraq.

In Damascus, Jolie visited a UNHCR registration centre where she spent hours talking to Iraqi refugees. 

And today, she crossed into Iraq where she visited some 1,200 refugees trapped in a makeshift camp at the border who were unable to flee the country. Later she watched as scores of Iraqis crossed into Syria at a checkpoint.

Jolie said she would leave politics to others but wanted to focus on the huge humanitarian needs.

"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to this humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," she said. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."

Jolie talked with stranded refugees at Iraq's Al Waleed camp on Tuesday, and said: "it is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq's future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face."

While in Iraq, Jolie also separated from the UNHCR group for private visits with U.S. troops and other Multi-National Forces in the region.

In Damascus she met some of the thousands of Iraqi refugees who were registering with UNHCR, and learned that almost 25 percent of them were victims of violence and torture. 

Jolie also learned that tens of thousands are without jobs, and the young are unable to receive an education. 

She recognized Syria for its open borders and generosity to Iraqis  refugees.

UNHCR and UNICEF recently launched a joint $129 million education appeal to get 155,000 young Iraqi refugees throughout the Middle East back into school. The United States government announced Tuesday that it will contribute $30 million to the appeal. 

ANGELINA JOLIE VISITE L'IRAQ ET SE REND AUPRÈS DES RÉFUGIÉS IRAQUIENS
L'ambassadrice de bonne volonté de l'UNHCR témoigne de la crise humanitaire


UNITED NATIONS - / www.MaximsNews.com@ U.N./ 28 août 2007 - DAMAS -- L'ambassadrice de bonne volonté de l'UNHCR Angelina Jolie s'est rendue en Iraq et en Syrie pour se rendre compte par elle-même du sort des centaines de milliers de familles déracinées par le conflit qui sévit en Iraq.

Selon l'agence des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés, plus de 4,2 millions d'Iraquiens ont quitté leur foyer - 2 millions sont partis vers les États voisins et 2,2 millions sont déplacés à l'intérieur de l'Iraq.

Hier, à Damas, Angelina Jolie a visité un centre d'enregistrement de l'UNHCR et a passé plusieurs heures à parler avec des réfugiés iraquiens dans leurs maisons. Aujourd'hui, elle est entrée en Iraq pour rendre visite à 1 200 réfugiés bloqués dans un camp de fortune à la frontière, dans l'impossibilité de fuir l'Iraq. Elle a ensuite observé un grand nombre d'Iraquiens en train d'entrer en Syrie à un poste frontière.

En sa qualité d'ambassadrice de bonne volonté de l'UNHCR, Angelina Jolie a déclaré qu'elle laissait les questions politiques à d'autres et s'attachait aux immenses besoins humanitaires de la région.

« Je suis venue en Syrie et en Iraq pour aider à attirer l'attention sur cette crise humanitaire et pour prier avec insistance les gouvernements d'accroître leur soutien à l'UNHCR et à ses partenaires », a déclaré Angelina Jolie. « Dans ces deux pays, mon seul but est de mettre en lumière le sort des personnes déracinées par la guerre en Iraq. »

Après avoir parlé mardi à certains des réfugiés bloqués dans le camp d'Al Waleed, en Iraq, Angelina Jolie a dit : « Il est absolument nécessaire que le débat en cours sur l'avenir de l'Iraq inclut des projets pour traiter les énormes conséquences humanitaires auxquelles ces gens doivent faire face. »

Alors qu'elle se trouvait en Iraq, elle a, séparément de l'UNHCR et à titre privé, rendu visite aux troupes américaines et aux autres forces multinationales basées dans cette zone.

Angelina Jolie est arrivée en Syrie lundi. À Damas, elle a rencontré certains des milliers de réfugiés iraquiens en train de s'enregistrer auprès de l'UNHCR, dont presque un quart sont des victimes de la violence et de la torture. Des dizaines de milliers n'ont pas de travail, et de nombreux jeunes risquent de perdre leurs chances de recevoir une éducation et d'avoir un avenir. Elle a exprimé sa reconnaissance à la Syrie pour laisser ses frontières ouvertes et pour sa générosité envers les Iraquiens.

À la fin du mois de juillet, l'UNHCR et l'UNICEF ont lancé un appel conjoint pour l'éducation d'un montant de 129 millions de dollars, visant à permettre à 155 000 jeunes réfugiés iraquiens à travers tout le Moyen-Orient de retourner à l'école. Les États-Unis ont annoncé mardi qu'ils y contribueraient à hauteur de 30 millions de dollars.

UNHCR GOODWILL AMBASSADOR ANGELINA JOLIE (MaximsNews.com, U.N.)

ANGELINA JOLIE, on an earlier two-day visit to New Delhi, visited a refugee woman from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) in the one-room home she shares with her three children. The family is among the 1,750 refugees from Myanmar under the care of UNHCR in India. The woman told Jolie that they fled after her husband was arrested by Burma’s military government.

Jolie listened carefully and took notes as the Burmese refugee women told her that they cannot return to their country as long as the military regime remains in power. While they talked, Jolie's five-year-old son Maddox played on the floor with Burmese children and overcame language barriers with a contest of spinning tops. © UNHCR/K.McKinsey
