A Cuban child named Yoelvis has been reported missing by his aunt, who stated that the boy has been away from home for more than three days. The woman, who shared a photograph of the child, did not provide additional details about his disappearance. Based on the image shared across multiple Facebook groups, the boy appears to be around 9 or 10 years old, with brown hair and an oval-shaped face.

In situations like these, where individuals seek assistance from others to locate a missing family member or friend, activist Marta María Ramírez emphasizes the importance of providing detailed information to activate the Mayde alert. The necessary details include: full name, any aliases, whether a report has been filed with the PNR along with the registration number/date, physical description (hair color, eye color, height), age, identifiable marks (birthmarks, tattoos, scars, chronic illnesses), medication, attire worn at the time last seen, the location and date of the last sighting, place of residence, contact numbers, and any other crucial information that may assist in the search.

“With this information, we can assist more effectively and apply pressure on the authorities,” Ramírez stated.

In this specific case, a user named Jessica Vila Ferreiro has provided a contact number for anyone with information: 53028338 or 55413861.

Recently, an 11-year-old boy named Yonatan García Peñas was reported missing by his family on the evening of the previous Saturday in the Mantilla neighborhood, part of the Arroyo Naranjo municipality in Havana. The following day, after the alert was published by our news outlet, it was closed by the child's stepfather, who expressed gratitude to all those who participated in the search efforts.
