Every year, thousands of families are separated by conflicts, disasters and migration. They have no idea what has happened to someone they love. The uncertainty leaves families suffering in silence, sometimes for years.
The American Red Cross can help look for missing relatives. Our International Reconnecting Families service is free, neutral and impartial. Before we start, we need some information. Our team then contacts colleagues in other countries to help with the search.
If we find a missing person, we ask permission to share their details with the family. This service has reconnected thousands of people with loved ones.
If you’re looking for someone, we may be able to help. There are three ways you can find our service. Contact your local Red Cross. Find us online. Or call our headquarters.
