Armed conflict, violence, natural disasters, and migration are among the top reasons behind people going missing. To express solidarity with heartbroken families and mark the International Day of the Disappeared on 30 August, the ICRC and the Playing For Change movement, which was created to inspire and connect the world through music, teamed up with 20 musicians and artists from five continents in a music video campaign.

The musicians sang a rendition of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."
