The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) consider the rate at which the number of immigrants from Venezuela has increased is "amazing", since it has gone from 695,000 emigres at the end from 2015 to four million in mid-2019.In just seven months, since November 2018, the number of refugees and migrants has increased by one million people, according to United Nations data, compiled from statistics from the national immigration authorities and other sources.By country, Latin America continues to be the destination chosen by the vast majority of Venezuelans and Colombia already has 1.3 million migrants from the neighboring country. They are followed by Peru (768,000), Chile (288,000), Ecuador (263,000), Argentina (130,000) and Brazil (168,000). The UNHCR and IOM special envoy for this crisis, Eduardo Stein, has warned that "these alarming figures highlight the urgent need to support host communities in recipient countries', as' it cannot be expected 'that countries in the region will continue to shoulder the burden' without international aid '. To complement established efforts in the area to To facilitate the inclusion of Venezuelans, including the Quito Process, a Regional Humanitarian Response Plan for Refugees and Migrants (RMRP) was launched in December targeting 2.2 million Venezuelans and 580,000 people in host communities in 16 countries. This plan is only 21 percent covered for now.
