Pakistan Red Crescent Society and the International Committee of the Red Cross in collaboration, facilitated families from across Pakistan to attend the International Families Conference organized by the ICRC Central Tracing Agency together with the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world.
The local conference hub at the PRCS national headquarters hosted families with a relative separated or being sought as a result of international migration, mainly towards Europe.
In Pakistan, the PRCS and ICRC work closely with Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies throughout the world under the Restoring Family Links program to help people separated from their families or without news of them following natural disasters, international migration, emergencies as well as in other situations of humanitarian need.
In a statement on the occasion, PRCS Chairman Abrar ul Haq said, “Losing contact with a loved one is an unimaginable pain.
Under the Trace the Face initiative of RFL, Family Links Network has reconnected more than 245 families who had been separated along the migratory route to Europe.
PRCS operates with a mission to alleviate human suffering, and we make it a priority to respond to the RFL needs of separated families.”
