The Jewish Agency has offered a NIS 100,000 ($27,500) reward for information that leads authorities to the whereabouts of a 9-year-old girl who has been missing from the northern city of Safed for over two weeks, according to Hebrew media reports.

Police are continuing the search for Haymanut Kasau, though there are currently no reports of leads in the hunt.

The girl was last seen in security footage at 7:45 p.m. on February 25 handing out municipal election leaflets outside the Jewish Agency absorption center, where she has lived for the past three years since immigrating with her family from Ethiopia.

She is 1.20 meters (3’11”) tall and is slim with dark hair and dark eyes.

She was wearing pink pants, a black skirt, and a white shirt at the time of her disappearance.
