11 refugee children reunited with families

Eleven Congolese refugee children, among the “forgotten” DRC refugees in Sudan, have been reunited with their families in Kisangani, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Thursday. The children had been living in the camps in Juba and were found by the ICRC’s tracing programme. Eight brothers and sisters, whose parents died a year ago, were reunited with their uncle, and three other children with their father.
