Missing minors reports in Greece

Overview

In August 2026, Greek authorities and the organization ‘The Smile of the Child’ issued multiple alerts regarding missing minors across different regions.

In Ioannina, searches were launched for two minors, 14-year-old Ariful Islam and 13-year-old Sakariye Omar, after they disappeared from a hospitality facility. Prosecutors ordered the release of their details due to potential risks to their lives.

Later in the month, new disappearances were reported in other parts of the country. In the Volos region, 14-year-old Melina A. went missing on August 21, and in Thessaloniki, 15-year-old Agapi-Eleni K. disappeared on August 23. In both cases, authorities noted the possibility of life-threatening circumstances.
