Hundreds of people reportedly died during the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca amid scorching heat, according to diplomats and other sources. The death toll for the June 14-19, 2024 pilgrimage was at least 550 as of June 18 and was expected to rise as high as 900. Most of the victims were Egyptians, but many were from Indonesia and India. Deaths are not uncommon at the haj, which often draws more than 2 million travellers to Saudi Arabia.
