Red Cross starts tracing service for people missing in Ukraine conflict

Australian Red Cross can help people contact missing family members affected by the conflict in Ukraine.

The Red Cross Red Crescent movement operates a worldwide tracing service, called the Restoring Family Links (RFL) program, for people who have lost contact with family due to war, conflict or disasters.

Due to the escalation of fighting in Ukraine, its estimated more than a million people have left their homes and are crossing borders into neighbouring European countries, including Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and Poland.

The mass exodus of people is expected to continue as people flee to safety.

“Our hearts go out to those worried about friends and family affected by the escalating conflict in Ukraine,” Red Cross protection manager Nicole Batch said.
