According to the Saudi Health Authority, at least seven pilgrims perished as a result of the country's high daytime heat, which exceeded 40 degrees Celsius.

Approximately 2200 people were impacted by the heat on Wednesday alone, including more than 250 people who succumbed to it, according to a ministry official.

According to the Saudi government, in addition to the 32,000 recipients of private donations, they have also given out water bottles and fans that spray water on people to help with any problems the heat of the day may bring about.
