A seven-year-old British girl from Blackburn, Inaayah Makda, is missing after being swept out to sea by a powerful wave while on holiday in Casablanca, Morocco. The distressing incident occurred on Wednesday night when a large wave crashed onto rocks, dragging Inaayah and other family members into the ocean.
Desperate Search Efforts Underway
While other family members managed to return to shore safely, Inaayah was swept away quickly and could not be located by her father in the immediate aftermath. Her parents have remained in Casablanca, where they are reportedly seeking assistance from a private search operator to continue the desperate hunt for their daughter.
UK Authorities Involved in the Case
Blackburn MP Adnan Hussein is actively raising the matter with UK authorities, including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, to ensure all possible support is provided. This international incident has highlighted the challenges faced by British families abroad and the critical role of diplomatic intervention in such emergencies.
The search operation continues as the community in Blackburn and beyond holds hope for Inaayah's safe return. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by coastal conditions, even during family holidays.
