The 14th and at least five Iranian pilgrims in Jordan have died in the heat stroke of Saudi Arabia's Mecca Hajj, while the Jordanian Foreign Ministry has confirmed the death of 14 citizens in a heat stroke, while 17 other Jordanians are missing.
Meanwhile, Pirhosen Kuliband, head of the Iranian Red Crescent, said that five Iranian pilgrims have lost their lives in Mecca and Medina during the Hajj this year, but he could not say for sure how they died.
Last year, at least 240 Muslims lost their lives in Saudi Arabia during the Hajj, many of whom were Indonesian citizens, and more than 10,000 people were affected by heat-related illness during the Hajj that year, of which 10 percent were suffering from heat stroke.
The Hajj ceremony of this year in Saudi Arabia begins on Friday (June 14) and millions of devout Muslims have landed in the holy city of Mecca, but this time, the Saudi government has a headache that is causing the head of the country to suffer from severe heat.
Before the start of Hajj, the Saudi Ministry of Health had informed that the average temperature in Mecca could be 44 degrees Celsius during Hajj. In such a situation, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah poisoned the country.
The Saudi authorities have learned that the regional temperature in the country is increasing at a rate of 0.4 centigrade every decade, and the situation is getting worse after the temperature is taken down.
