We finally have news that search operations are being vastly expanded with international help and I am just shaking while typing this because getting this level of cooperation was all I could ever hope for. Thank you for pushing this out there when I was losing my mind because it …

Our dear friend, Adel-Ait-Ghezala, has been missing
since the afternoon of January 1, 2014, when he was free
diving 30km (20 miles) off the coast of Dubai, UAE. While we commend the unceasing
efforts that have been made, we appeal to you on a humanitarian ground and request
more support to help bring our Adel home. Time is running out. Please help us
keep hope alive and expand the search and rescue mission for Adel. We need your
help! Sign this petition to show your support for our below requests. – Help bring
Adel home!
We request:
1. On humanitarian grounds, an
expanded multi-national government search and rescue mission, involving the
coast guards and/or navies of regional and foreign governments. The
dedication and commitment of the government of the UAE, including of the Dubai
and Abu Dhabi Coast Guards and the Dubai
Police, have been nothing short of commendable. Time is of the essence and to
help guarantee that Adel is quickly rescued, multi-government cooperation is
needed. The US Navy and other governments have advanced search capacity that can aid in the search
and rescue operation. On humanitarian grounds, we ask that the UAE join with
other governments to expand the search and rescue mission. We also ask that
neighboring governments cooperate on expanded searches.
2.Given
that Adel is an Algerian citizen, we ask that the government of Algeria request
support from the UAE and from the United Statesto
aid in search and rescue.
3.Contributions
of advanced search tools and resources includinggeographic
mapping, planes, helicopters, boats, and volunteer teams of divers. We are
extremely grateful for those who have given their time and effort to assist in
dives and other search and rescue support to date. We know that the
US and
other governments have the tools and capacity to aid in this search! We request
your help in seeking aid of those with tools to help.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP MAKE THIS A REALITY! Help Keep Hope Alive
We need your signatures to
help get support from regional and international governments. Please sign the petition
and add your voice to bring Adel home.
Please share with your social media networks and
email contacts. Please ask others to support the urgent appeal for help.

Background:
At around 4pm GST
on January 1, 2014, Adel disappeared while diving with 3 friends and his wife
Rana about 30km (20 miles) off the coast of Dubai. Despite search efforts by
the UAE Coast Guard, Police, private and volunteer organizations, and support
from the UAE Government, Adel has yet to be found. Adel is a PhD student and
adjunct professor at American University in Washington, DC, where he has lived
for over 10 years. He is an experienced competition level free diver. He is in
top physical condition with in-depth understanding of open water survival
skills. (read more about the Adel and details: http://goo.gl/dAKGk1). To date, a campaign launched by Adel's family
and friends has raised over USD$55,000 to aid in private searches and has
garnered a lot of support and attention on social media and an outpouring of
international media coverage. We still need your help!
Thank you for your help and for keeping hope alive!

A hundred people have already signed this and honestly my hands were shaking when I saw the notification pop up on my phone screen. I keep thinking about Adel out there and how much this support actually helps me feel like I am doing something real even if I am just stuck in front of a laptop all day. Please keep looking for any way to get the word out further because we need the navies to see this and start moving.
January 7, 2014
Seeing this momentum grow feels like a lifeline when everything else just feels like waiting and staring at the horizon. I never thought so many people would care enough to stop and look at this but it proves that Adel is not just some name on a screen to all of you. We have to keep this pressure up because the ocean is huge and cold but seeing you all here makes me think we might actually get someone to listen.

Adel is not only a great intellectual and professor mine, but genuinely a good person. The number of supporters shows the impact he's had on so many people around the world. Please expand the search efforts!
please help us to find Adel! every human in this world has a value and Adel has a big one for his family ! au nom de l 'humanisme et de l entraide internationale que l 'Onu représente depuis 1945 aidez nous à retrouver Adel !
I remember Adel from the ABA in Oman and am so sad to hear something this scary has happened to him and his family. I hope he has managed to survive somewhere and will be found and will return safely home. My family's prayers are with yours.
Asking for governments to go beyond there means is asking a lot, but asking for a little help to find a man that has the mind and ability to make a difference on this planet. I don't think we are asking for a lot. If you can spare a little time and effort, it will be greatly appreciated.
please help bring this young man home. as an experienced diver he nay have wondered along the coast disoriented. please do not give up hope.

The governments with naval forces in the area must go more to help the search operation. I'm disappointed in the US's lack if assistance.
