From hamodia.com:
Harav Yitzchak Abuchatzeira, zt”l, the Baba Chaki
Harav Yitzchak Abuchatzeira was the son of Harav Masoud, and a grandson of the famed Harav Yaakov Abuchatzeira, the Abir Yaakov. He was born in Rissani, in Tafilalt, Morocco, in 5655/1895. His brother was Harav Yisrael, the Baba Sali.
...
At the age of 13, in 5668/1908, he was orphaned of his father. Following the death of his brother Harav David, who was killed by ruthless anti-Semites, he left the city, together with his brother, Harav Yisrael. They settled in Bou-denib, where Harav Yitzchak was appointed leader of the community, at the young age of 25.
...
Harav Yitzchak eventually settled in Eretz Yisrael, in 5708/1948. He was appointed Rav of Ramle and Lod. ... He was known by the name Baba Chaki.
Shortly after his brother, Harav Yisrael, the Baba Sali, settled in Eretz Yisrael, the leaders of Netivot, most of whose residents were of Moroccan origin, invited him to move there. Within a brief period of time, Netivot became a famous and important town to which thousands flocked to receive the Baba Sali's brachot.
One of the first to visit the Baba Sali in Netivot was the Baba Chaki, Harav Yitzchak. Harav Yisrael, who was happy to see his brother, held a special seudah in his honor. At the end of the seudah, he pleaded with Harav Yitzchak to remain in Netivot overnight. However, the Baba Chaki said that he had to attend to a number of affairs early in the morning and preferred to return to his home in Ramle that night.
Soon after Harav Yitzchak left Netivot, the car in which he was riding crashed. The Baba Chaki was seriously injured and was niftar that night.
...
The levayah that was held the next day, 25 Adar II 5730/1970, was attended by tens of thousands who mourned the tragic petirah of Harav Yitzchak, the Baba Chaki.
His son, Harav Avraham, succeeded him as Rav of Ramle.
