The family of 15-year-old Rayaan Hassan Amin is engulfed with increasing anxiety as they seek answers about her disappearance. Rayaan was last seen at 6 am on Sunday when she left home, sparking concerns among her relatives.
"Rayaan was headed for Madrasa at Al Hidaya, which is a 10-minute walk from home," shared Amal Mohamed, a relative.

"She usually follows a routine, and this sudden disappearance is very unlike her," remarked Amal.

"We have reported the matter to Pangani Police Station, who are actively working on it," said Amal. The family is urging anyone with information about Rayaan Hassan Amin's whereabouts to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation. "We are pleading for the community's support in finding Rayaan and bringing her back home," said Amal, as the family remains hopeful for her safe return.
