Description : In the current COVID-19 pandemic, the International Committee of the Red-Cross (ICRC) is adapting its existing activities and programs to ensure we can help address the growing needs globally concerning the dead, their families, and those working to manage the dead. Even in countries not affected by conflict, funeral homes and morgues have been quickly overwhelmed by COVID-19 deaths. In conflict zones, the situation could be even more dire due to limited capacity to properly handle high numbers of deaths. Emergency response plans should be established or activated now, before any crisis overwhelms responders and resources, to ensure the reliable identification and documentation of the dead. The process for obtaining death certificates, death registration and burial permits should be facilitated.
