But most have apparently joined a tide of Nicaraguan refugees heading through Mexico to the United States.

Adolfo Calero, a contra leader who accompanied the delegation, visited with a group of about a dozen Nicaraguan political refugees.

United States officials estimate there are already as many as 110,000 Nicaraguan refugees in Honduras.

That American aid bill provides that the $17.7 million could be spent to treat children of Nicaraguan refugees.

I saw it in the hollow eyes of thousands of Nicaraguan refugees at a camp in Honduras.

The Finca Sonador project was launched in 1979 to provide a home for Nicaraguan refugees.

But they did not announce it, and only about 5,000 of the estimated 100,000 Nicaraguan refugees in Honduras came.

The estimate of 110,000 Nicaraguan refugees in Honduras provided by United States officials is almost certainly exaggerated.

Some Nicaraguan refugees in Honduras have been going back to Nicaragua.

This concern has grown as tens of thousands of Nicaraguan refugees fleeing the war in their homeland have moved into the region.
