A British family's relaxing Spanish holiday has turned into every parent's worst nightmare after their two young children vanished without trace from their Costa Blanca apartment.
The desperate parents raised the alarm when they discovered their four-year-old and six-year-old children were missing from their holiday accommodation in the popular tourist region of Alicante.
International Search Operation Launched
Spanish authorities have launched a massive search operation, deploying multiple police units and emergency services across the area. The Guardia Civil is leading the investigation into the children's mysterious disappearance.
Local reports indicate search teams are combing the surrounding countryside and urban areas, leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to locate the missing British youngsters.
Family's Desperate Wait
The children's family remain in Spain, enduring an agonising wait for news as the search continues. The circumstances surrounding their disappearance remain unclear, with investigators working to piece together the children's last known movements.
The Foreign Office has confirmed they are providing support to the British family during this traumatic time, working closely with Spanish authorities handling the case.
Tourist Community Shocked
The disappearance has sent shockwaves through the local expat and tourist community in the Costa Blanca, a region popular with British holidaymakers and residents.
Local authorities have appealed for anyone with information to come forward as the search enters its critical phase, with concern growing for the children's welfare as time passes.
