Every year thousands of families across the world are separated in the midst of conflict, natural disasters or other events with a humanitarian impact. In Australia the Red Cross Tracing Service is part of the International Red Cross tracing network operating in 178 countries to exchange family news, re-establish contact or clarify the fate of the missing. It is a unique service provided free of charge to the public.
