Two middle-aged Israeli women have gone missing in Argentina, according to a relative who posted a plea on Facebook seeking information about their whereabouts.
Sisters Pyrhia Sarusi, 63 and Lily Pereg, 54 were visiting family in Mendoza, western Argentina, and were last seen in the early hours of the morning on January 11, according to a post by Vered Sarusi, Pyrhia’s daughter.
Channel 13 news reported that the two sisters were visiting Lily’s son, Gil Pereg, and that local authorities had put out a call for any information about the pair.
Police have questioned Gil as the last person known to have had contact with the sisters.
Vered Sarussi said in her post that the women’s last known whereabouts were at their rented apartment in Mendoza at 2:30 a.m. last Friday morning and asked that anybody with any knowledge of the two contact lostinmendoza2019@gmail.com.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
