Morocco to End Formal Search for Missing UK Girl as MP Seeks Extension

Weeks of hazardous weather have repeatedly halted rescue operations along the Casablanca coast.

Overview

  • Moroccan authorities plan to conclude the official search at the end of the month, according to Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain.
  • Mr Hussain has asked officials to extend the search period and said he is awaiting their response.
  • He traveled to Rabat and Casablanca, met Ambassador Alex Pinfield and consular staff, and has been supporting Inaayah Makda’s parents.
  • Officials say SOS alerts will remain active with notifications to neighbouring countries as the British Embassy and FCDO continue consular support, including engagement by Minister Hamish Falconer.
  • Search efforts have included shoreline sweeps, dive operations and naval patrols, while independent family-led searches continue; a GoFundMe raised over £61,000 and donations are paused as any remaining funds will go to charity in Inaayah’s name.
