Indian ministers have praised a Pakistani citizen for saving the lives of approximately 17 Indian pilgrims who were in grave danger due to the extreme heat in Makkah during Hajj earlier this year.
Hajj 2024 faces criticism for insufficient ambulance services, as reported by Middle East Eye. Unregistered pilgrims were particularly affected, with real death tolls potentially much higher than official figures.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced that the Hajj permits for some domestic pilgrims have been canceled because they didn’t receive the Neisseria meningitidis vaccine.
The Makkah Health Cluster reported that a pilgrim 31 weeks pregnant was admitted to the emergency department at the Maternity and Children’s Hospital after experiencing labor pains.
