Salvador Still Seeks Missing
Children
The more than 460 minors who
disappeared in the 12-year
combat between the guerrillas
and the Army during the
Salvadorian Civil War are
searched for by the humanitarian
organization Pro-Search, at the
request of the relatives.
"We still have an unresolved
matter with the families of
those boys and girls who
disappeared during the 1980-1992
armed conflict, assured Ester
Alvarenga, general director of
Pro-Search.
The director pointed out that
323 of the 787 missing children
registered by the organization
have been found, noting
Pro-Search does not have support
in this task from State
institutions.
Of the children located, 150
were living with adoptive
families in El Salvador, 130
with adoptive families abroad,
and it is believed that 43 died.
According to official sources,
Honduras, United States, Italy,
France, Belgium and Holland are
some of the countries where
these now young men and women
live.
