Moroccan Social Media Star Dies at 31 After Battle with Rare Sun Sensitivity Disease

Fatima Ezzahra Ghazaoui died from severe anemia caused by her illness, which she had been fighting for months, reports Morocco World News. Her death has moved all of Morocco. Online, public figures, celebrities and ordinary citizens have expressed their sincere condolences to the family of the illustrious deceased and have expressed their deep sadness.

Fatima Ezzahra Ghazaoui was born in 1992. Two years later, her parents discover that she is suffering from Xeroderma pigmentosum (children of the moon syndrome), a rare genetic disease characterized by extreme skin sensitivity to the sun and eye disorders. Since then, they have helped her survive. Victim of mockery and harassment because of her appearance, Fatima has set herself the mission of breaking the taboo around this disease. A way for her to give hope to patients, but also to raise awareness among people to accept the differences of others.

Social networks become her communication channels. She shares everything that would make the lives of patients a little easier. She also talked about her health problems. Over the years, Fatima has become an example of courage and resilience.
