Abstract

The scale of refugee movements has expanded dramatically in recent years. At the same time international assistance for refugees and displaced persons has declined. Increasingly limited opportunities for resettlement and limited resources for assistance do not bode well for meeting the nutritional, housing, health, and psychological needs of millions of adults and children. This article reviews these global trends and identifies the international and service issues they raise. Future prospects for meeting the needs of refugees and for repatriation are discussed.
