The family of a 15-year-old Cuban teenager is desperately searching for him since he went out to fish on a raft four days ago off the eastern coast of Havana.
Yusuan Fundora Massaguet has been missing since the morning of Friday, January 17, when he set out on a rustic boat to fish at Chivo beach, located after passing through the bay tunnel, heading towards Habana del Este, according to a notice shared on social media by family and friends.
"His whereabouts are unknown due to bad weather reported at that time. His family is in a state of great despair!" states the note with a photo of the teenager, also sent to the editorial team of CiberCuba.
Fundora left on a "cork," which is how a raft made of foam is known, as reported by acquaintances in posts on Facebook.
“Hope is the last thing to be lost (please share this image). Your family and friends are waiting for your return home, in any condition, but alive!!!,” the message emphasizes.
Anyone who has information about the young man can contact the numbers 53029769 and 52966571.
It has not been revealed whether the family reported the disappearance to the Police.
Reports of missing persons have significantly increased in Cuba over the past year, including those of missing fishermen after setting out to sea.
The lack of a state channel to handle these cases and the growing insecurity have led families to turn to social media for help.
