BOGOTA, Colombia—“What is the worst thing you have ever lived through?” asked José Urdaneta, describing his living conditions in a camp in Colombia. “Imagine that, but five or 10 times worse.”
Urdaneta is one of the many Venezuelans who have fled their crisis-stricken country. According to a new report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the number of people who have left Venezuela for other destinations around the world has now reached 3 million, roughly one in 12 of the nation’s population.
