A villager in Chakoti, Pakistan, contacts relatives with a satellite phone provided by the ICRC – Along with health, water, food, shelter and restoring livelihood programmes, one of the key ongoing ICRC activities in Pakistan remains helping displaced people reconnect with family and loved ones. By the end of 2006, over 2,200 people in remote rural areas who had been separated from their families had used an ICRC or Pakistan Red Crescent (PCRS) satellite phone to contact their relatives. The ICRC and PRCS focus on vulnerable children in their efforts to restore family links, having so far registered 163 children, 95 of whom have been reunited with their families.
