It's been 10 days since the passing away of Egyptian actor Younes Shalabi ... Although we didn't right about his death as it happened, but we couldn't let this pass by without mentioning ...
Younes Shalabi died last week, at the age of 66, after a long struggle with illness. He suffered from diabetes and a stroke and had been resting in hospital for a long time.
You would think that a famous and iconic actor like Shalabi, would be better taken care of at his age and his health condition ... especially by the Actors Union ... but sadly enough, Shalabi had to sell the bit of property he owned in his home town of Al Mansoura, to be able to pay for his medical bills! It was only in the last stages of his illness, that the Egyptian Ministry of Health took over the bills, according to reports by CNN Arabia.

Shalabi is famous all over the Arab World and in known by all generations for his funny characters in 'El ial kibrit' and 'Madrasat al mushaghebin'.
Our deepest condolences to the family of the great actor ...
May you rest in peace ...
