Red Cross Urges Nigerian Government to Intensify Search for Missing Persons
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has urged the Nigerian government to intensify efforts in searching for missing persons, especially in conflict-affected regions like Maiduguri, Borno State. The ICRC emphasized the emotional toll on families of missing individuals and the need for closure.
The organization noted the significant number of missing persons globally due to armed conflicts and disasters, with Nigeria having a high caseload since 2014. The call for sustained search efforts aims to provide answers and support to families affected by the disappearance of their loved ones, highlighting the importance of commemorating the International Day of the Disappeared.
