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

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.
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.
