"No country welcomes refugees today," says one high-level refugee aide. "The situation for them is as bad as it was for Jews fleeing from Nazi Germany in the 1930s." As a result of the increasingly hostile reaction to the refugee flow, the UNHCR has had to scramble for funds, personnel and cooperation from host countries. Its $100 million 1978 budget doubled in 1979, then doubled again in 1980 in response to the refugee waves rippling...
