A miracle as four children missing from Doonside, Sydney’s west, are found safe and sound after five days of searching
A desperate search for three boys and a girl has ended after they were found safe and sound.
Azaiah El-Hajj, 12, Judah El-Hajj, 9, Mikael El-Hajj, 12, and Malaika El-Hajj, 16, were last seen on Earle Street, Doonside, at 6.45pm on Saturday.
When they could not be located or contacted, officers from Blacktown Police Area Command were alerted and an increasingly desperate five-day search was launched.
Fortunately, officers found the four children in Bankstown at around 10.30am on Thursday.
Azaih El-Hajj, 12, Judah El-Hajj, 9, Mikael El-Hajj, 12, and Malaika El-Hajj, 16, disappeared from Earle Street, Doonside, in Sydney’s west about 6.45pm on Saturday. They were found safe and sound on Thursday morning after a desperate five-day search
Police thanked the community and media for their assistance.
Daily Mail Australia previously revealed the children’s mother Talah Eldamouni spent Wednesday in Bankstown Local Court after being charged with three counts of driving with a suspended license.
Eldamouni pleaded guilty to all three violations and was fined $300, court records show.
Eldamouni also has several active assault warrants issued by police on behalf of family members.
She was recently convicted in her absence for breaching an apprehended violence order.
She is also due to appear in court on charges of destroying property and entering a restricted area without lawful excuse.
Talah Eldamouni (pictured) was in court on Wednesday – it was five days since her children disappeared from Sydney’s west
Hours before her court hearing, Eldamouni pleaded with her missing children to make contact as soon as possible.
‘The whereabouts of my babies are still unknown!!’ she said via the Islamic Sound Vision Facebook page.
“Malaika, ya albi, please call me any way!! Let me know you’re doing well! I just want to hear your voice!’
“It’s okay if you contact me mom, I won’t get in trouble and they won’t put me in jail, I promise! Please call me mom as soon as possible.
“I miss you so much, my beautiful people.”
It is not suggested that Eldamouni was in any way involved in the disappearance of her children.
