A young woman from Santiago de Cuba who was stabbed by her partner last Saturday had to undergo emergency surgery for the second time on Wednesday.

The victim, named Ana Keilan Portillo, underwent surgery at the Provincial Hospital Saturnino Lora, where she is currently admitted.

According to what independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Portillo was told, the woman's wound got infected and she even vomited "fecal matter."

Ana Keilan is reported to be in serious condition and evolving satisfactorily, following this new surgical intervention," specified on Facebook.

The reporter added that this morning there was a rumor that the young woman had passed away.

On the other hand, his attacker had been released after posting bail of 5,000 pesos, but on Tuesday, he was arrested again.

"It is inhuman that the life and safety of a woman cost 5 thousand pesos in national currency. A regime or government has no authority to put a price on the peace, well-being, and protection of a human being," Mayeta emphasized.

Ana was attacked on Saturday with a sharp weapon and suffered injuries to the kidney and colon, which required surgery.

On Wednesday, close individuals reported that her physical condition had worsened and there were no resources available at the hospital to care for her.

The wound is infected, and since last night he has been struggling to breathe, and there is no oxygen tank available, and if a tank appears, there is no pressure gauge. The family is desperate. The girl feels so unwell that she is saying her goodbyes, saying that she is going to die," a witness recounted.

The source pointed out that the nurses "say there are no resources."

"They put on her a portable oxygen tank that doesn't even work properly, this cries before God's eyes," he lamented.
