Ukraine's "Lost and Found" App Helps Reunite Families with Missing Children in Conflict Zones.

WARTAGLOBAL.id - Ukraine Launches Mobile App to Help Find Children Lost Due to War

The war in eastern Ukraine has resulted in countless tragedies, including the disappearance of children who have become separated from their families. To address this issue, Ukraine has launched a mobile application called "Lost and Found" that allows users to search for missing children and report sightings.

The app was developed by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Ukrainian Ministry of Social Policy. It is part of a broader initiative to help families affected by the conflict, which has displaced more than 1.5 million people and claimed over 13,000 lives since 2014.

The "Lost and Found" app is user-friendly and provides multiple features to aid in the search for missing children. Users can upload photos and details of missing children, and the app uses facial recognition technology to match them with reported sightings. The app also provides resources and guidance for families on how to report missing children and navigate the search process.

The launch of the app has been welcomed by families affected by the conflict, who have often struggled to find information about their missing loved ones. The app is available in Ukrainian, Russian, and English, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

According to the IOM, the app has already received positive feedback from users and has helped to facilitate several successful reunions between missing children and their families.

The launch of the "Lost and Found" app is a positive step towards addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in eastern Ukraine. The app provides a valuable tool for families to locate missing loved ones and highlights the importance of leveraging technology to aid in humanitarian efforts. It is hoped that initiatives like this will continue to be developed and implemented in conflict-affected areas worldwide. (Wr.G*/)
