Police are desperately appealing to find a 13-year-old girl who has been missing for five days.

Mariama was last seen around East Street in Walworth, London on February 9, 2023 and police are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.

The appeal was released on Twitter five days after the minor's disappearance last week.
