As part of its annual Hajj preparedness plan, the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) has announced the allocation of **900 fully equipped ambulances** across **Makkah, Madinah, Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifah**, and other key locations to provide emergency medical support for pilgrims.

These ambulances will be stationed strategically to ensure rapid access to patients in crowded or congested areas, especially during high-intensity rituals like **Tawaf, Sa’i**, and **standing at Arafat**.

The fleet includes **standard, advanced life support (ALS)**, and **intensive care unit (ICU)** vehicles, along with **motorbike units** for fast access in tight zones.

Dr. Ahmed Al-Zahrani, Director General of SRCA in Makkah Region, stated:

> “Our teams are fully prepared to serve the Guests of Allah. With 900 ambulances and trained paramedics, we aim to reach any emergency case in under 8 minutes.”

The SRCA has also set up **temporary medical points** at high-traffic zones such as **Masjid Al-Haram**, **Masjid An-Nabawi**, **Jamarat Bridge**, and **main tent routes in Mina**. These services are coordinated with the Ministry of Hajj and Ministry of Health to deliver seamless emergency coverage.
