The Venezuelan refugee crisis is reaching Syrian proportions

So far, 15% of the population has left. 4 million Venezuelans are exiles, of which 1 million are refugees in Colombia.

Percentage-wise, there are more Venezuelan exiles than Cubans.

According to the Brookings Institute, 4 million more may leave, which would be equal to or worse than the worst African migratory crisis, and worse than the unfolding situation in Syria.

This situation is unique in the Americas and could become one of the worst human catastrophes in history if Maduro remains in power.
