More than 550 hajj pilgrims die in #Mecca as temperatures exceed 50C.
"The pilgrimage is increasingly affected by climate breakdown, according to a Saudi study published last month.
Each year tens of thousands of pilgrims attempt to perform the #hajj without securing official hajj visas in order to save money, a more dangerous undertaking because these off-the-books pilgrims cannot access air-conditioned facilities provided by Saudi authorities along the hajj route."
