Sri Lanka 2006

As a result of the recent increase in violence in Sri Lanka, large numbers of people, particularly in the North and East of the country, have been displaced. Thousands of families, both inside Sri Lanka and across the world, are very worried about the whereabouts of their loved ones in Sri Lanka, are trying to get news of them.

The aim of the FamilyLinks website is to accelerate the process of restoring contact between separated family members and to facilitate the exchange of family news.

It is managed by the ICRC, in cooperation with the tracing services of the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies throughout the world and with the support of the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society.
