More than 1,300 people died during this year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia after walking long distances in extreme high temperatures, Saudi authorities have announced.
Pilgrims were seen fainting, vomiting and collapsing in the scorching heat as they braced 50C temperatures to perform the Hajj rituals in and around the holy city of Mecca, with some survivors being airlifted for treatment in Riyadh.
