Syrian media outlets are reporting the death of veteran actress Hoda Sharaawi at her home in Damascus at the age of 87. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death, with initial reports indicating the involvement of her housekeeper.
Syrian television’s official page confirmed the passing of Sharaawi, stating she died at her residence in the heart of the Syrian capital. Details surrounding the incident remain unclear as the investigation continues.
Sharaawi enjoyed a prolific career in Syrian drama, becoming particularly well-known for her roles in period pieces set in Damascus. She was a familiar face to audiences for decades, contributing to a rich tradition of Syrian television.
However, she was perhaps best recognized for her portrayal of “Um Zaki,” the midwife, in the hugely popular series “Bab al-Hara” (The Neighborhood Gate). The show, a cultural touchstone in the Arab world, propelled Sharaawi to widespread fame.
Her other credits include appearances in “Days of Sham,” “The 7 Stars Family,” “Lack of Taste,” and “Too Much Trouble,” among other productions.
