11-year-old Girl Goes Missing in Gaza

6 September 2007

Gaza – Ma'an – An eleven-year-old girl has gone missing in Gaza City after she went out to buy a pencil case for the start of the new school year.

Iman Tayseer Mghafel left home on Monday afternoon at around 1.30 pm and did not return home. She was last seen wearing a blue tracksuit and carrying a black bag.

Her uncle, Yusry Mghafel who lives in Al Shaga'eyeh neighborhood of Gaza City said that
her family searched the streets for her before calling on the Executive Forces for help.

The family is appealing for anybody with any information to come forward.


Update:

Iman Tayseer Mghafel has been found and was not hurt, as the Security Force found her.

She was abducted by a child predator and I am sad to say they was Palestinian and was said to have extreme mental illness.

The child abductor was executed for the kidnapping and this lovely child was returned safely to her parents.
