Venezuelans are fleeing Venezuela daily.
According to BBC News today, an estimated 5,000 people pack up their bags and leave every day, eager to escape the economic collapse and humanitarian crisis which has beset the oil-rich South American nation.
More than 3 million people have departed Venezuela.
And the UN believe that number is expected to rise to more than 5 million by the end of 2019.
The vast majority of Venezuelans travel to other parts of South America. More than a million Venezuelans have chosen neighbouring Colombia as their new home, with half a million more travelling through it on their way further south to Ecuador, Peru and the countries beyond.
Earlier this month, 95 organisations, co-ordinated by the UN Refugee Agency – the UNHCR – and the International Organization for Migration, launched the so-called Regional Response Plan for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela.
The idea is to help respond to needs of those Venezuelans who are migrating as well as call on the international community to help fund aid efforts.
Geoff Ramsey, the assistant director of the Venezuela Programme at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) says it is a great start but promises on paper are not enough.
"A meaningful solution to Venezuela's displacement crisis will require Latin America to integrate these communities into their formal economies and job markets", he says.
David Smolanksy, an exiled opposition leader and now the head of the Working Group on Venezuelan migration for the Organisation of American States believes the region doesn't just need to respond to the crisis, it needs to keep up the pressure against Maduro too.
"You need the strong arm and the friendly hand", he maintains.
"The region needs to be firm against the dictatorship – as long as it continues, people are going to flee".
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro (left) blames "imperialists" – the likes of the US and Europe – for waging "economic war" against his country and imposing sanctions on many members of his government.
But his critics say it is economic mismanagement – first by his predecessor Hugo Chávez and now Maduro himself – that has brought Venezuela to its knees.
Malaysians should be thankful that we put a stop to our own country’s ruination on May 09, 2018 when we ousted Najib Razak and Barisan Nasional.
Yesterday was Liverpool’s final game of the calendar year and we were pitted against Arsenal.
The Reds leaked a goal – Ainsley Maitland-Niles had given Unai Emery’s team the lead in the eleventh minute – then, hit back when Roberto Firmino scored twice in two minutes (14, 16), putting away a loose ball and then a stunning individual goal.
Sadio Mane made it 3-1 after 32 minutes when Andrew Robertson's long cross exposed Arsenal after they needlessly conceded a corner.
Mohamed Salah extended it to 4-1 from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time, having been fouled by Gunner center back Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
And then Firmino completed his hat-trick, also from the spot after 65 minutes following Gunner left back Sead Kolasinac's push on Dejan Lovren.
The final tally – Liverpool won 5-1.
Jurgen Klopp's side are nine points clear of Tottenham after the north Londoners' shock home defeat by Wolves and 10 ahead of Manchester City, who visit Southampton today.
I expect the Citizens to win this match and that means only 7 points will separate us from them.
