Description
File images of Muslim pilgrims circling the Kaaba and participating in the Hajj as temperatures soared to 51.8 degrees Celsius (125 degrees Fahrenheit) in the holy city of Mecca. The deaths of 1,300 pilgrims during the hajj in Saudi Arabia in 2024 underscored the urgent need to mitigate dangers posed by extreme heat, with crowd management an essential first step, analysts say.
