Angelina Jolie Visits Iraqi refugees with UNHCR

Description

UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie recently visited internally displaced Iraqis living in an informal settlement and a formal camp at Khanke, near Dohuk. There, she heard dramatic refugee stories of escape from the more than 20,000 Yazidis who fled Sinjar and surrounding areas last August. "It is shocking to see how the humanitarian situation in Iraq has deteriorated since my last visit. On top of large numbers of Syrian refugees, two million Iraqis were displaced by violence in 2014 alone."
