The poet Kazem Al Waheed Al-Anzi said, through his Facebook account, "An important poet of the size of the great Kazem Al-Saadi, we see him today living in the nursing home and in a miserable condition that hurts all of us. Whatever the causes and causes, this giant cannot be in this truly weeping state."
