Ines El Najjar, a prominent Tunisian actress, passed away on Monday after facing a critical health crisis that led to her hospitalization in intensive care in recent days.

The actress suffered from severe complications caused by blood poisoning, resulting in a complete loss of consciousness.

Despite being placed on ventilatory support in an effort to stabilize her condition, her health continued to deteriorate and she ultimately did not respond to treatments.

El Najjar's passing marks a significant loss for the Tunisian arts community, where she was well-regarded for her contributions to theatre and television.
