Restoring family links
I have lost track of a loved one and I want to find him/her
Are you having trouble contacting your loved ones? Are you looking for your family? The mission of the Restoring Family Links service is to help people who have been separated as a result of armed conflict, natural disasters, international migration or any other humanitarian situation.
You can also look at the Rétablissement des Liens Familiaux – RFL of the French Red Cross.
The staff and volunteer teams of the ICRC and the French Red Cross do their utmost to listen, support and assist families in order to maintain or re-establish contact.
If you commit to a geographical arrangement and/or you identify a risk specific to your situation (minor, vulnerable person etc.) due to the ukrainian conflict, you can enter your information and contacts as well as those of your relatives to keep them securely at the Red Cross. This information may be used by you or your relatives in the event of a break in contact.
In France, you can contact the Restoring Family Links Service nearest to you by consulting our map of offices open throughout France.
