#hajj #heatwave

[jlwdith]

My dear friend Mahmid Al Mohamat El-Huseeini Al Akbahk was in this chaos. I hope he is still alive.

[kalyanbanerjee]

It is a picture of helpless people dying because the authorities could not make proper arrangements to combat the furious heat wave

[littleme]

Self inflicted....could have been avoided.

[hameratahir]

Those who passed away, will go straight to jannah inshallah.

[Ladyluck-]

May Allah protect them but surely those who died are blessed to get Jannah in such a holy place!

[Dan.]

Happens every year and every year the media act like it's brand new...

[Greyteam]

Guess the towel on the head doesn't help?

[Vicky__]

Why allah can't save them
Dear allah show your power

To mitigate these risks, the ministry recommends that pilgrims always carry an umbrella to protect themselves from the sun, drink enough water throughout the day regardless of whether they feel thirsty, and adhere to all health regulations.

[pathanmd.iqbalkhan]

Total failure of saudi Government management.
No ambulance reached to patient. No medical facilities.
Shame on saudi Government.

I used to perform hajj long time ago with my grandfather.The weather was not too bad, accomodation & transportation was all well in Saudi.There was even medical facilities available.I left Islam now but I do not want to complain about the condition of Mecca;honestly it was all well.I am shocked to hear its 52 degree now.Prayers for the departed soul, condolence to the family….

[RedDiamondXYZ]

These umbrellas should be given to all pilgrims 100%

[Precious-p-fw]

No help at all. Extreme mismanagement. Saudi treat Hujaj as garbage

[AndThereYouGo]

I'm guessing that a Muslim didn't invent air conditioning.

[_Be_Still]

An arab man wants to turn his country into a tourist destination, told his followers all over the world to visit there. I pity the poor in africa who has to embark on this trip with their life time saving. 😢

[AAA_Ys]

Should have provided shade to avoid direct sun

[krissaberhagen]

its called a desert, not the first not the last.

[naveediqbaljune]

I myself was helping elderly people around me, kindly ensure proper arrangements next time

[dougwolfe]

Idol worship is exhausting, especially in June.

“I take from you your children and you say, 'How blessed are we?'
You all must be crazy to put your faith in Me
That's why I love mankind
You really need Me
That's why I love mankind"
