A Cuban woman residing in Sancti Spíritus has been missing for four days after leaving her home to go shopping, with her family having no information about her whereabouts since then. Her name is Cleidys Garcías, and her cousin took to social media to report her disappearance and seek help.

"Please, if anyone has seen this young woman, she is my cousin," said Isneiby Del Valle on Facebook. "She went out to exchange some shoes she bought and also had money to purchase a phone. She has been missing for four days, we don't know anything about her. Please, any information you can call me at my number, 53203302. Help me share," she pleaded.

This Saturday, it was revealed that two 12-year-old Cuban girls from Cárdenas, Matanzas, have also been missing for four days. The minors, identified as Melany and Saily, are students in middle school and were last known to have left Melany's maternal grandmother's house, where she lives, together.

Friday marked six months since the disappearance of young Cuban woman Karildi Marín in Havana, with her family still enduring the agony of not having any news about her whereabouts. Her brother, Yoandri Marín, shared a message on his Facebook wall expressing his frustration and reaffirming his commitment to continue the search.

"Time passes but the pain remains the same, and I believe it increases each day, as the uncertainty is very painful. Not knowing creates a lingering uncertainty about what might have happened," he said. "I only ask God to protect you and keep you from all evil. Your family will continue until we find you because between heaven and earth, nothing can be hidden...," he added.
