February 04, 2019 00:00:00


UNHCR special envoy and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has planned to visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar district this week to see the situation on the ground and meet Rohingya people, reports UNB.

She is likely to arrive here on Sunday night and visit Cox's Bazar on Monday and Wednesday, said a diplomatic source indicating that there might be last-minute changes in her schedule.

After years of dedicated service to UNHCR and the cause of refugees, Angelina Jolie was appointed special envoy in April 2012.

In her expanded role, Jolie focuses on major crises that result in mass population displacements, undertaking advocacy and representing UNHCR and the High Commissioner at the diplomatic level.

She also engages with decision-makers on global displacement issues.
