Hajj: Why over 1,000 Muslim pilgrims have died
The Global Story
Tragic Deaths and Challenges at Hajj Season
The chapter discusses the high number of deaths, over 1,300, during the Hajj season with many unregistered pilgrims arriving on visitor's visas instead of official permits. It delves into the challenges faced by undocumented pilgrims who lack the support and care provided to those with official Hajj visas, leading to tragic incidents like the story of a 70-year-old Egyptian woman passing away due to financial constraints while on an unofficial journey. The episode also criticizes the lack of transparency from Saudi and Egyptian authorities regarding the death toll and the handling of the fatalities.
