Armed conflict and natural disaster leave millions of people around the globe in urgent need of humanitarian assistance every year. Adding to the physical losses, the confusion and chaos surrounding war and natural disasters often separates families when they need each other most. Tragically, when families and loved ones are separated by war or disaster, their suffering is greater. But, through the strength of the Red Cross Movement and the work of tracing volunteers at national societies around the world, including the American Red Cross, families reconnect.
American Red Cross International Family Tracing Services accepts tracing cases and traces sought persons when:amilies have been separated as a result of either armed conflict or disaster. * Families have been separated as a result of either armed conflict or disaster. * As much as possible, families have tried normal channels of communication before requesting Red Cross tracing services. * The family member making the inquiry provides essential information on the sought person. * The family member making the inquiry is a close family relative, who has been in direct contact with the sought person before the conflict or disaster occurred.
