Divided family
A divided family is a family that is divided between two or more countries due to conflict between such countries. Members of a divided family often do not have chance to live together.
== Korea ==
The division of the Korean peninsula is one of the last remaining relics of the Cold War. Since the end of the Korean War in 1953, there has been virtually no contact between the citizens of the two countries, including the many families who were divided during the turmoil that engulfed Korea after liberation from Japanese rule and during the three-year Korean War. Many people in both North and South Korea have lost contact with the rest of their family, and are unable to communicate to them due to strict regulations across borders.
In the 1980s, South Korea held special programs to reunite divided families. Some divided families between South Korea and Korean diaspora who live in Western countries were able to reunite. However, reuniting divided families between the two Koreas remains difficult due to lack of communication.
The problems posed by these divided families is a pressing humanitarian issue that has been used for political ends by the governments on both sides of the 38th parallel over the last five decades. Most families do not know the fate of their relatives on the other side of the border. Following the historic summit of 2000 in Pyongyang, there have been several rounds of reunions, but the number of families affected remains low. For many of the first generation, divided families' time is running out, as many pass away before seeing their relatives again.
