Iraq’s oldest known woman, Naela al-Suwaidi, died on Friday in Kirkuk at an estimated age of 124, the Forensic Medicine Department of Azadi Teaching Hospital said.
A source told Shafaq News that al-Suwaidi, believed to have been born around 1901, was well known locally for her longevity and generally good health despite her advanced age.
Her death was attributed to natural causes following a sudden health decline over the past two days.
