In this handout image provided by UNHCR, The
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres and his
Special Envoy Angelina Jolie continued their regional tour visiting
Turkey on September 13, 2012 to hear accounts from Syrian refugees. On
the third leg of a solidarity tour to support UNHCR's regional response
to the Syrian refugee situation, the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees Antonio Guterres and his Special Envoy Angelina Jolie spent
the day visiting two of the 11 refugee camps along Turkey's border with
Syria. The planning is for 17 camps to be established to enable Turkey
to accommodate up to 36,000 more. Guterres and Jolie paid tribute to
the Government of Turkey for keeping its borders open for anyone seeking
asylum, adopting a system of temporary protection and providing
assurance that no Syrian would be forcibly returned.."Syrians have a
history of welcoming people in need," added Ms. Jolie. "Now it is their
hour of need and I am grateful to Turkey, and all the neighboring
countries for their extraordinary generosity.".During her visit to the
camp, Ms. Jolie met with several families, all of whom had lost family
members in the violence in Syria. One woman told her a story about a
house that was bombed in her town and the entire family was killed. "We
don't care about our house," the woman said. "We care about the blood
of the people." Another woman told her a similar story where a family
was killed, but with one survivor - a baby found cradled in her dead
mother's arms. (Photo by JTanner/UNHCR via Getty Images)..
