Tragedy struck on Wednesday as seven-year-old Inaayah Makda was pulled into the Atlantic Ocean while sitting on rocks near Casablanca, Morocco. Her parents, Zubair and Tasneem Makda from Blackburn, Lancashire, were also swept away but lost sight of their daughter.
The family had just started a week-long holiday when disaster hit.
Frantic Rescue Efforts Hampered by Storms
Search teams deployed drones and water scooters along the rugged coastline, but Inaayah remains missing. Stormy weather and heavy rain have made rescue operations tough. The Moroccan army has been called in to assist with flood evacuations.

“Inaayah is our only child. She’s bright, loving, and full of laughter – deeply cherished by us all,” said Zubair and Tasneem Makda in a heartfelt social media post.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British national reported missing in Morocco and are in contact with local authorities. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.”[block_2]
