HAJJ 2023: More than 4,000 pilgrims hospitalized due to extreme heat
According to a representative for the nation's Ministry of Health yesterday Wednesday, more than 4,000 pilgrims were admitted to hospitals this year's hajj due to the scorching weather.
Additionally, Dr. Muhammed Al-Abd Al-Aali noted that more than 6,700 pilgrims experienced difficulties due to the day's high heat.
We advised the pilgrims to refrain from bringing any personal items to the Kaaba mosque or the area of throwing, and to walk calmly to avoid any mishaps.
On the day of Arfa, when the temperature reached 45 degrees Celsius, pilgrims wore umbrellas.
This year, the Saudi government sent thousands of medical personnel to take care of the pilgrims, while volunteers are providing water.
