‘Invisible’ shipwrecks leave Cuban families grappling with grief

From Reuters.

Maiquel Gonzalez is one of 29 Cuban migrants who disappeared nearly two years ago without a trace while trying to reach the U.S. on a homemade boat to cross the Straits of Florida amid signs the US was about to tighten immigration rules. Loved ones who still don’t know the fate of their loved ones grapple daily with grief.
 
The Straits, which bridge the gap between Cuba and Florida, are plagued by strong currents, treacherous weather and shark-infested waters — considered among the five most dangerous migrant crossings globally, the UN says.
