ICRC launches website to trace missing quake victims

April 30, 2015 01:11

The International Committee of the Red Cross has started an online page where survivors of the April 25 earthquake as well as family members of those missing can register themselves to contact each other.

The website -- http://familylinks.icrc.org/nepal-earthquake/ -- can help register names of those who wish to inform that they are alive and also those with whom they have lost contact.

It has been launched in both English and Nepali.

"This website makes it possible to search through the list of missing persons and of those people who have responded that they are alive, register names of persons who wish to inform others that they are alive and names of those with whom they have lost contact," the ICRC said in a statement.
