Moroccan Student Dies in France Three Months Before His Family Knows
The article reports on the tragedy that befell Ismail Essiari, a Moroccan student in Orléans, France, whose death was discovered three months after his death. Ismail, who was enrolled in engineering and living alone in a university apartment, died without his relatives or local authorities being informed of his situation. It was only after a long period without news that the French authorities contacted his family to tell them the sad news.
The situation revealed significant gaps in the monitoring of international students, particularly with regard to security and communication protocols in the event of a problem. The lack of adequate monitoring and the slow pace of the procedures increased the pain of the family, who discovered the loss of their son in particularly painful conditions.
The case of Ismail Essiari has raised awareness of the failures of the international student support system. Criticism focuses on the lack of effective measures to ensure the well-being of students and prevent such tragedies. Family and student advocates are now calling for reforms to improve oversight and support for international students in university residences.
