At least 550 people died during the Hajj. largest Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia due to high temperatures recorded, according to Agence France Presse (AFP), cited by Reuters. Of the 550 victims, 323 they were Egyptians.

Saudi Arabian state television reported temperatures rose to 51.8 degrees Celsius (125.2 Fahrenheit) on Monday in the shadow of Mecca’s Grand Mosque.

A 2024 Journal of Travel and Medicine study concluded that rising global temperatures may be outpacing heat management strategies. A 2019 study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters said that as temperatures in arid Saudi Arabia rise due to climate change, Hajj pilgrims will face “extreme danger.”

Over the past 30 years, hundreds of deaths during pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia have been caused by riots, tent fires and other accidents. The pilgrimage began this Friday.
