More than 550 hajj pilgrims die in Mecca as temperatures exceed 50C
At least 320 of the dead are from Egypt and Saudi officials report treating more than 2,000 people for heat stress
It isnt usually this bad but it happens every year. Saudi is a rich modern country and should take the necessary measures to protect pilgrims.
People who go to church have a right to go home afterwards.
