220 people killed, 450 injured outside Mecca in Hajj crush
The Directorate of Civil Defense said it has deployed two medical teams in the field for emergency treatment of the victims of the crush.
The crush happened in Mecca’s neighborhood of Mina, which traditionally provides temporary accommodation for hundreds of thousands of pilgrims. The ritual of the ‘Stoning of the Devil’ is performed in a valley surrounding the neighborhood on the night before last day of the Hajj.
