A sudden health crisis threatens the life of the Egyptian artist Naeem Issa.

In a tragic development, the renowned Egyptian artist Naeim Issa, who has delighted audiences with his exceptional performances over the years, is currently facing a severe health crisis that has necessitated his admission to the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in Alexandria. Issa is suffering from acute pneumonia, requiring the use of ventilators to assist with his breathing. Samy Issa, the artist's son, revealed details about his deteriorating health condition, stating that the crisis began with a severe cold that led to acute inflammation of the airways, eventually progressing to life-threatening pneumonia. He added that his father's health rapidly deteriorated, causing him to fall into a semi-comatose state where he was unable to move or speak. Samy explained that the treating physician warned of the risks associated with using mouth ventilators, as they could damage the vocal cords, and suggested a tracheostomy procedure to safely utilize ventilators. The surgery has already been performed hours ago, but his condition remains critical. Samy mentioned that the artist Ashraf Zaki, head of the acting professions syndicate, is in constant communication with their family, closely monitoring the situation and providing necessary support. Naeim Issa, 92 years old, is considered one of the most prominent figures in the history of Egyptian theater and cinema. He began his artistic career in the early 1950s and participated in many famous plays such as "Raya and Sakina" and "El-Wad Sayed El-Shaghal," as well as notable films and TV series like "Alexandria, Why" and "The Beggar."
