Gakleen Shahata, 39, was last seen at around noon on Sunday, February 12 at Golders Green Parish Church in West Heath Drive.

Ms Shahata, of Burne Street in Marylebone, is described as being British-Sudanese with long, brown, wavy hair, around 5ft 5in-tall and of heavy build.
She is deaf and speech-impaired, but understands basic British sign language and some Arabic. She also has learning difficulties.

She is known to visit Edgware Road and Hyde Park.
