A 12-year-old British girl, named Carmelita Rakudesha Paul, is missing after being seen leaving a private lodging facility alone in Tokyo's Ota Ward on August 13. Surveillance footage captured her disappearance. Paul, who was 160 centimeters tall, wore a light blue sleeveless shirt and a black-and-white checkered skirt. She had no smartphone and carried only several thousand yen in cash.

The Tokyo police are urging anyone with information to contact the Kamata Police Station. Meanwhile, flooding, landslides, water outages, and transport disruptions continue in Chiba Prefecture, raising the death toll to eight, with one person still missing.
