Families often have to break up in order to slip away individually, usually by roundabout paths or jungle streams. In Quinhon. where the refugees are arriving at the rate of 300 a day, the homeless receive food from Catholic chari ties and medical care from American Franciscan sisters-though disease is inevitable in the fetid shantytowns...
