Pilgrims from Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Iran and Senegal have died during the hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia this year as temperatures have soared to over 50 degrees Celsius.

    yes; as far as i’m aware there has never been a mass-death event like this in the contemporary history of the Hajj, although it’s always been arduous and more potentially deadly when it falls during the summer

        we’re obviously, contextually talking about deaths from heat, not from all the other stuff that happens on Hajj. don’t do this “you cannot be serious” routine when you simultaneously don’t even engage with the context of the question
