South Sudan: new ICRC report sheds light on the plight of the families of missing people

Over 5,700 cases of missing people are currently being followed by the ICRC and the South Sudan Red Cross. The actual number of missing people in South Sudan is probably much higher, as most disappearances are not registered or documented. A third of the disappeared persons registered with the ICRC were children when they went missing.

on the International Day of the Disappeared, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) shares the findings of a recent study on the needs of South Sudanese families who live the anguish of not knowing the whereabouts of one or more of their family members.
