A Distressing Search for Ouadoud Rabbaj
A Dutch-Moroccan family is in desperate need of public assistance in locating their son, Ouadoud Rabbaj, who has been missing for over a week in Tangier, Morocco. This distressing situation unfolded when Ouadoud disappeared around noon on Sunday, July 19, while visiting Morocco with his parents. His sister, Wafae Rabbaj, has voiced the family’s deep concerns and is urging anyone who may have information about his whereabouts to come forward.
Wafae recounted that Ouadoud left their accommodation without any personal belongings, except for his mobile phone, which has likely run out of battery since he didn't have a charger with him. The family believes he may have become disoriented, leaving him unable to find his way back. This uncertainty amplifies their worry, as Ouadoud is particularly vulnerable due to a psychiatric condition that can lead to episodes of psychosis if he does not take his medication. His struggles with addiction further complicate their search and heighten fears for his safety.
Identifiable by a permanent limp and a visibly crooked wrist from a previous accident, Ouadoud speaks Dutch, English, and limited Darija. Since his disappearance, the family, along with friends and volunteers, has been tirelessly searching Tangier day and night for any signs of him. However, despite their efforts, there have been no confirmed sightings or leads on his location.
“Our family, friends, and many volunteers have been searching day and night for over a week now,” Wafae expressed. “Sadly, despite all these efforts, we still have not found him or received any information about his whereabouts.” The family is calling on the public for help, emphasizing that any information, no matter how small, could potentially aid in bringing Ouadoud back home safely.
Wafae concluded by stating, “We hope that sharing his story will help reach more people and increase the chances of someone recognizing him or providing information that could help bring him home safely.” Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local authorities or reach out directly to the family.
