Tunisia Health Minister dies After Charity run
Tunisia's health minister has died of a heart attack after taking part in a charity marathon to help fight cancer.
Prime Minister Youssef Chahed said he had lost a "brother and colleague", who had died doing a noble humanitarian act.
The marathon was held in the coastal town of Nabeul on Sunday to raise funds to build a cancer clinic for children.
Mr Chaker was appointed health minister last month in a major cabinet reshuffle.
He was a former banker who had served in the ministries of finance, sports and youth after the overthrow of long-serving ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.
He was only appointed a Minister barely a month ago .
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.AMEN
