Family news service

Economic hardship, social issues, conflicts, and natural disasters often lead to the separation of millions of families. Those affected endure the distress of being apart from their loved ones, not knowing their whereabouts, what has happened to them, or how to reconnect. They face the challenge of finding missing relatives or sending a message to them. The Red Cross Tracing Service operates globally to help re-establish contact between separated family members and, whenever possible, reunite them.
