Missing: Fatima Hassani

The list of Manchester's homeless people runs into hundreds annually. Some run away leaving their families in anguish. Fatima was 16 when she left her parents' home in Medlock. That was ten years ago.

Fatima left her parents’ home in Medlock, Greater Manchester, in May 1995, at the age of 16. Since then, the only contact her family have had was a phone call a month after her disappearance. 

Fatima’s mother, Khadijeh Torbati, said: "I was in the kitchen and my children picked up the phone and she was crying on the phone and saying I miss you and when they called me to come she’d already hung up."

Since then her family have heard nothing from her and her mum in particular is worried that Fatima could be unhappy and may be frightened of calling home. She wants her to know that she would love to hear from her and know that her daughter is safe.

"I haven't had a chance to talk to her to say: 'No - please come back. I tried to do my best'" said Khadijeh.

Fatima would now be 26 years old. At the time, she was a student, and may have been under pressure. Her family, including her brother and sister, miss her very much and ask her to please get in touch.

Fatima is Iranian, 5ft 5ins tall and of medium build when last known. She also has black hair and dark brown eyes.

If you have seen Fatima please call the National Missing Persons Helpline on Freephone 0500 700 700. All calls are free and confidential.
