The woman claimed her name was Sucel Fernández Calunga and was found in Reparto Agüero, specifically on 4th Street between H and 32, in Santiago de Cuba.

The citizens who found her asked that, if anyone recognized her, they should get in touch immediately to assist her. Miguel Noticias followers identified her and informed the family.

In the comments to the post, the user Mari Reus said "That's my grandmother" and the internet user Yasmel Fernando López stated that "they have already gone to get her."

The community has shown great concern over the increase in cases of missing elderly people in Cuba, affected by mental illnesses.

Some people also remember the importance of the Cuban police having a more active role in reuniting the elderly with their families and returning them to their homes.

However, the authorities have received numerous criticisms for not acting as quickly as they should in cases of missing persons, a topic that increasingly troubles Cubans and worries the community, both online and offline.
