Democratic Republic of the Congo: families torn apart by the conflict never lose hope
As part of its mandate, the ICRC works to reunite family members separated by conflict. In North Kivu, as in most war-torn areas, this often involves registering unaccompanied children and advising distraught parents.

Abraham Kishuhe-Nzuki is an ICRC employee in Goma. He often accompanies the teams that reunite unaccompanied children with their families. On this occasion, however, the roles have been reversed. He and his wife Jacqueline have just been reunited with their granddaughter Gloria, just one and a half years old. However, there were no screams of joy: on finding Gloria, they also learned that her mother, their daughter, was dead, having fled the violence a few months earlier.
