Makkah: Official Spokesman for the Ministry of Health Dr. Muhammad Al-Abdulaali said that this year’s Hajj season faces a major challenge represented by the significant rise in temperatures, which poses a threat to the health of pilgrims.
The health spokesman advised pilgrims to follow the ministry’s health guidelines, including carrying umbrellas to avoid direct sun exposure, drinking sufficient amounts of water, and taking rest periods between rituals to reduce fatigue and heat stress.
Al-Abdulaali emphasized the need for pilgrims to commit to these measures to ensure their safety and protect their health during the performance of Hajj rituals, stressing that the ministry is making all efforts to provide a healthy and safe environment for pilgrims in light of the harsh climatic conditions.
