Police Search for Missing 13-Year-Old Girl in Sydney’s South - Sydney, NSW
Smart summary
NSW Police are appealing for public assistance to locate Yara Hany, who was last seen in Sans Souci on Friday, 16 October.
New South Wales Police have issued an appeal to locate a 13-year-old girl reported missing from Sydney’s southern suburbs. Yara Hany was last seen in Sans Souci on Friday, 16 October 2026. When she could not be located or contacted, officers attached to the St George Police Area Command were notified and began inquiries into her whereabouts.
Police have expressed concern for Yara’s welfare because of her young age. Investigators are asking residents, commuters and anyone who may have been in the area to consider whether they saw her or have information that could assist the search.
Yara is described by police as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, approximately 150 centimetres tall and of thin build, with dark hair. Police have stated that her clothing at the time she was last seen is not known.
She is known to frequent the Sans Souci and Peakhurst areas. These details may help members of the public identify possible sightings and provide useful information to investigators. Police have not confirmed where Yara may currently be. The appeal is focused on establishing her whereabouts and ensuring that her welfare can be checked as soon as possible.
In missing-person investigations, information from the public can help police establish a person’s recent movements, follow up potential sightings and identify places where further inquiries may be useful. Even seemingly minor details can be helpful when they include a clear time and location.
Anyone who has seen Yara or has information about where she may be is urged to contact Kogarah Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can also be provided through the official Crime Stoppers website. Police have asked the public to provide information through official channels rather than posting tips on police social-media pages. Anyone with a possible sighting should share the details directly with authorities.
The search remains a welfare matter, and no further information about Yara’s whereabouts has been confirmed in the published appeal. Authorities are seeking the community’s assistance to help locate her safely.
