Hicham, the Moroccan content creator and husband of influencer Khadija Saddiki, passed away on Thursday after a prolonged battle with leukemia.
He had been undergoing treatment both in Morocco and abroad.
Influencer Leila Chamam, known on social media as the “Cancer Warrior” and a close friend of the late Hicham’s wife, announced his passing, revealing the long and difficult fight he endured as the illness ravaged his body.
Hicham had been transferred to France for further treatment after an intervention by King Mohammed VI, who personally covered all his medical expenses following a widespread solidarity campaign on social media.
After completing his treatment, he returned to Morocco just a few weeks ago, but his health deteriorated rapidly due to the cancer’s full spread.
Hicham’s story gained widespread public sympathy when his wife posted videos on social media, urgently calling for help to save him as his cancer returned and his need for costly, immediate treatment abroad grew critical.
