The International Committee of the Red Cross launched Thursday a programme and website to help families in Haiti locate missing relatives, DPA reported.
"The aim of the family links website is to accelerate the process of restoring contact between separated family members," the ICRC said.
Thousands of Haitian families are believed to have lost contact with loved ones as a result of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the impoverished nation on Tuesday.
The site can be accessed at: www.familylinks.icrc.org
Also, the international agency sent a plane from Geneva carrying 11 staff, including two tracing experts, and it was expected to land in the capital Port-au-Prince later in the day.
