Democratic Republic of the Congo: families torn apart by the conflict never lose hope
As part of its mandate, the ICRC works to reunite family members separated by conflict. In North Kivu, as in most war-torn areas, this often involves registering unaccompanied children and advising distraught parents.

“A lot of the children have already gone home," says the pastor. “Last autumn, there were almost 190. With the ICRC's help, we managed to trace most of the families. They are 92 left, 18 of whom are probably orphans. But for them, as for all the others, we will continue searching.”
