TUNIS - Tunisia’s health minister Abdel-Raouf El-Sherif resigned on Saturday after 11 babies mysteriously died within 24 hours in a hospital in the capital, state news agency TAP said. The health ministry and state prosecutors have launched investigations into the cause of the babies’ death which was likely due to a blood infection, it said.
