After two days of uncertainty, a Cuban woman identified as Elisa, who had been reported missing, was found on Wednesday in a park in the Cerro municipality of Havana, disoriented but alive.
Ildelisa Hernández, known as Elisa and of legal age, was located and taken to a hospital where she received medical attention, according to her relatives who reported it through the Facebook profile Garlobo Lvv.
"Update. Thank God she showed up. We thank all the people who took a minute to post and share. They found her in the Cerro sitting in a park disoriented. Right now she is in the hospital. Thank you all!" the post states.
The woman was wearing a multicolored striped blouse, red leggings, a black cap, and was carrying a small black backpack when she was last seen in Vedado, where she resides.
Her family had asked the community for help in locating her, posting their contact number on social media and requesting that anyone with information get in touch immediately.
Before her discovery, the family along with friends and acquaintances had launched a campaign on social media to find her in the place where she disappeared on September 17.
This case of disappearance adds to a growing wave of reports of missing persons in Cuba in recent weeks.
In addition to the disappearance of Elisa, other recent cases include Rachel Sánchez Escaleira, a mother of three, who was reported missing in Marianao, and Noemí Victoria Blanco Acosta, a 15-year-old teenager in Cárdenas, Matanzas.
Help has also been requested to find Yankier Correa, a young man with moderate intellectual disability who has gone missing in Havana.
In the midst of a context of rising insecurity and increased crime on the island, disappearances have been on the rise, leading family members and friends to turn to social media to seek help and locate their loved ones.
