Thai divers on Thursday resumed the search for a 12-year-old Israeli girl missing after a blaze destroyed a ferry packed with tourists in southern Thailand, police said.
More than 100 foreign tourists were plucked from the sea in a dramatic rescue on Wednesday afternoon after a sudden blaze consumed a ferry travelling between Krabi and Phuket island in the Andaman sea.
Initially Krabi police said everyone on board was safe and accounted for, but the Israeli girl was later listed as missing.
"We haven't found her yet... the search was called off yesterday evening during strong currents and darkness but it resumed today," Lieutenant General Decha Butnampetch, southern region police commander told AFP.
Local media reports said the girl was travelling with her family, who were waiting in Krabi for news.
Among the passengers pulled from the sea were nationals from Britain, Switzerland, the United States and China.
