Underwater Teams Join Search for Missing UK Girl Off Casablanca Coast

Her parents say UK support has been limited during efforts constrained by rough seas.

Overview

  • Seven-year-old Inaayah Makda was swept from rocks by a wave in Casablanca on Wednesday and remains missing.
  • Specialist divers and a marine underwater unit are now involved, with jet skis covering above‑water areas along the shoreline.
  • Search coordinators report hourly SOS alerts to vessels across a roughly five‑nautical‑mile zone from south Ain Diab to north Casablanca.
  • Severe weather, high waves and hazardous coastal terrain have curtailed aerial support and complicated operations.
  • The family has funded private resources, including a helicopter, through donations exceeding £60,000 and has criticised what it calls limited practical help from UK authorities, as the FCDO says it is supporting them and liaising with Moroccan officials.
