The family of the 20-year-old bank cashier describe her as a “a very kind family girl” who is proud to call herself a British Muslim. She was on her way to work in Islington, from her home in Plaistow, east London, when she called her uncle, Nazmul Hasan, at 9.45am on Thursday. Mr Hasan, who works in London, missed her call because he had gone out to investigate the commotion on the streets.
When he tried to ring her back, he got straight through to her answerphone. Other family members have also called, but are still awaiting an answer. They now fear she has been injured or killed in the bus blast or trapped in the wreckage of tube trains.
Mr Hasan, 25, said he had not slept since her disappearance and that he and other relatives have visited one hospital after another trying to find his niece. He said: "I’m trying to hold it together but her parents are devastated and they are just full of anguish.
"All I can see in them is pain and hurt.
“I thought she might have been trapped somewhere but in the confusion I don’t really know what’s happened,” he said yesterday.
"It has been over 24 hours since the blasts and we have had no information about her at all.
“We must have been to over 10 hospitals. By 6pm we began to fear the worst and I’ve had police officers out looking for her as well.”
Ms Islam’s daily journey to work takes her along the district line to Mile End where she changes onto the Central Line and again at Bank for the northern line to Angel. She is 5ft 8ins tall, with fair skin and shoulder length black hair.
