epa11414878 Muslim pilgrims attend the symbolic stoning of the devil ritual at the Jamarat Bridge during the Hajj pilgrimage near Mecca, Saudi Arabia, 16 June 2024. Hajj pilgrims took part in the 'stoning of the devil' ritual on the first day of Eid al-Adha during which they throw pebbles at three large pillars. Saudi authorities said that over 1.5 million pilgrims arrived in Saudi Arabia for this year's Hajj season. Muslims attending this year's Islamic Hajj pilgrimage will face the challenge of a significant rise in temperatures, which poses a threat to the health of pilgrims, according to the Ministry of Health statement, as the National Center for Meteorology (NCM) expected temperatures to range between 45 and 48 degrees Celsius at the holy sites.

IL CAIRO, 22 GIU - Centinaia di morti per il gran caldo durante il pellegrinaggio di questi giorni alla Mecca, e l'Egitto decide di sanzionare e di denunciare 16 agenzie turistiche per "frode", per aver spedito illegalmente molti pellegrini in Arabia Saudita. Il Premier Mustafa Madbuli "ha ordinato di ritirare le licenze di queste imprese, di deferirne i responsabili davanti alla giustizia e di comminare loro un'ammenda per destinarne i proventi a risarcimento delle famiglie dei pellegrini morti per colpa loro", è scritto in una nota del governo del Cairo.
