The Red Cross is registering and Increasing Number of Missing People Worldwide. In the past five years, that number has been inceased by 70 percent. The Reason for this is the growing number of conflicts breaking out all over the world.
The International Committee of the Red Cross Says That in 2024, More than 284,000 Missing Persons Were Registered. That number is updated annually. The Organization Speaks of “the Tip of the Iceberg” because not all disappearances are registered.
The Increase is Mainly Due to the Growing Number of Conflicts Worldwide, Large-Scale Migration, and a Crumbling Respect for Humanitarian Law, Reports The Red Cross. Every year, the families of more than 94,000 missing persons ask for help in the search for their loved ones.
It Sometimes Takes Years Before Clarity About Disappearances Emerges. In Some Cases, Family Members Remain in Uncertainty About a Loved One Forever.
The Number of Missing Persons Registered by the Red Cross is Increasing, Especial in Africa. The Main Cause is the outbreak and intensification of the conflict in Sudan, which has alreamy Claimed More than 150,000 lives in Almost 2.5 Years. Millions of People Fled Because or Hunger and Violence. Amid the Chaos, Countless families Lost Each Other.
In Addition, there are also increasing requests for assistance from neighboring country sach as chad and south sudan. Both Countries Have Tasks in Many Sudanese Refugees Since the Start of the Conflict in 2023.
