Egypt's Coptic Christian Pope Shenouda III has died at the age of 88, state television has announced.
The cause of his death was not reported, but the leader of the Middle East's largest Christian minority had suffered from health problems.
Coptic Christians make up 10% of Egypt's 80 million population.
After attacks on Coptic Christians in recent years, Pope Shenouda urged officials to do more to address the community's concerns.
