The number of pilgrims who died during the Hajj in Saudi Arabia exceeds 1,000

The death toll on the Hajj pilgrimage has surpassed 1,000, according to reports, after a brutal heatwave sent temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius at the world's largest Muslim gathering in Saudi Arabia.

Horrific footage shows bodies being covered and left on the road as some of the pilgrims succumbed to the high temperatures, while many others suffered severe heatstroke and had to be rushed to colder, more isolated locations.

The new deaths reported today include 58 people from Egypt, according to an Arab diplomat who provided a summary showing that of the 658 total deaths from that country, 630 were unregistered.
