A Cuban family has been experiencing moments of anguish for the past two days after the disappearance of a mother and grandmother in Havana, leaving no trace at all.

Her granddaughter, Sabrina Matías Iyami, said in a Facebook post this Wednesday that the lady has been “missing” since Tuesday afternoon. “We still don’t know about her, nor do her friends or anyone else know anything about her,” she emphasized in her alert message, in which she requested assistance in finding her grandmother.

The woman was dressed that day in a colorful striped blouse and red leggings, and she also wore a black cap and a small black backpack, the young woman detailed.

In a comment he made in the last few hours on his own post, he stated: "That has never happened before, it's been almost 48 hours and nothing, not a word."

Ildelisa resides on 3rd Street between A and B, in Vedado, according to another post on the social network.

The granddaughter pleaded that if anyone sees her or knows anything, to urgently call her at the number +5356603636.

Reports of missing persons in Cuba have become very frequent in the past year, as nearly every day, requests for help from family and friends circulate on social media to obtain information that would allow them to locate their loved ones, due to the lack of a state channel that provides visibility to the cases.

A mother turned to social media on Wednesday in a desperate attempt to find her son, who has been missing for five days in Havana.

A young man also asked for help through digital platforms to locate his father, who has been missing since Monday. The man resides in the municipality of Boyeros in Havana and has been unsuccessfully searched for in various hospitals.

Since last week, several missing person alerts have been active.

People close to Yankier Correa, a young man with moderate intellectual disability, reported that he has been missing in Havana since Tuesday of the previous week.

Likewise, efforts have been underway for several days to locate two elderly individuals reported missing in the capital. One of them, Miguel Ángel Sánchez Cepero, who is called "Cachito," is schizophrenic and becomes disoriented, while the other, identified as Froilán Bernardino Álvarez Ponce, suffers from Alzheimer's and diabetes mellitus.
