Democratic Republic of the Congo: 83 children separated by armed conflict finally reunited

Kalemie (ICRC) – 83 children, aged between five and 19, were reunited with their families in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The children had lost contact with their loved ones as a result of armed conflict and violence in the south-east of the country. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in coordination with the Red Cross Society of the DRC, worked to return the children to their families, some of whom had been apart for more than three years.
