Hajj Deaths 2024 | More Than 550 Pilgrims Die In Mecca As Temperatures Exceed 50 Degrees

Diplomats on Tuesday said at least 550 pilgrims died during the hajj, underscoring the grueling nature of the pilgrimage which again unfolded in scorching temperatures this year. At least 323 of those who died were Egyptians, most of them succumbing to heat-related illnesses, two Arab diplomats coordinating their countries' responses told AFP. "All of them (the Egyptians) died because of heat" except for one who sustained fatal injuries during a minor crowd crush, one of the diplomats said, adding the total figure came from the hospital morgue in the Al-Muaisem neighbourhood of Mecca.

No problem at all with this happening. Less stupid, more sanity, please.

People not realizing that this year 28 lac people performed.

And anywhere out of 28 lac in 40 day period 500 death is normal.

And this year it is lesser compared to other.

My prayers go to all the victims of the family on this unfortunate incident in Mecca, the holy land of our Muslim brothers and sisters. I pay homage to the victims memory from India.

MBS has the official title of "The custodian of all financial income from Hajj and Umrah", this figure of 550 was from one hospital in one district. If the actual figures are allowed to be made public it will be horrific. From my own personal experience of Hajj in 2005 where 1500 people lost their lives I witnessed and was right at the point of the stampede and witnessed an amazing and immediate response from Saudi military who sent in the bulldozers to scoop up bodies and dump them in to lorries without checking to see if any of them were alive. The real insult was when only one nice and shiney ambulance pulled up with a news crew and the presenter was handed a "doctors" white coat still in it's original plastic packaging. He put it on and someone handed him a stethoscope which was to make him look good. I don't know where they got the body from. Sadly Saudi Royalty who are the house of Al-Yahud only see Hajj as an income.

That is why India sent minister Smriti Irani to inspect the facilities at Mecca for the safety of Indian Muslim pilgrims.

Hospital is better than hajj. Their govt should build a hospital in place of that mosque.
