A young Cuban woman has reported the disappearance of her grandmother, who has not been seen by family members for the past four days. "This is my grandmother and she has been missing for four days," the young woman wrote in several Facebook groups dedicated to reporting such incidents.
The grandmother's name is Idalmis Gómez and she lives in the San Miguel del Padrón municipality in Havana. Any information regarding her whereabouts can be reported to the numbers (+53) 50 502 942 or (+53) 59 094 154, which were provided by her granddaughter, Lianet Alain Gómez Fernández.
No further details about Idalmis’s disappearance, such as her age, the clothes she was last seen wearing, or her intended destination when she left her house, have been disclosed. This lack of information makes the search for her more challenging.
Additionally, a search alert remains active for an elderly Cuban man suffering from dementia, who has been missing for over a month in Pinar del Río. His name is Pedro Pablo Oliva Iglesias, he is 72 years old, and he resides at D Street #25 in the Celso Maragoto neighborhood.
A similar case involves a Cuban man named Agustín, who lives in the town of Calabazar, also in Havana. Meanwhile, this past weekend, a 16-year-old girl has been reported missing since she left her home last Friday. The young girl, named Virgen Thalía Castillo Limonta, lives in the La República area on the outskirts of Santiago de Cuba with her mother and two younger siblings.
