ABC News: Red Cross Aims to Reunite Katrina Families

ABC News: Red Cross Aims to Reunite Katrina Families: "GENEVA Sep 7, 2005 — The international Red Cross Web site aimed at reuniting families separated by Hurricane Katrina has registered 118,000 names since it went online less than a week ago, a spokesman said Wednesday.

About one-third of the people registered live in devastated Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, while the rest lived elsewhere and were looking for someone in those states, said Florian Westphal, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross.

'Obviously people are quite desperate,' Westphal said."
