Hundreds died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia amid intense heat

Hundreds of people died during this year's Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as the faithful faced intense high temperatures at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom.
 
Saudi Arabia has not commented on the death toll amid the heat during the pilgrimage, required of every able Muslim once in their life, nor offered any causes for those who died.
 
One list circulating online suggested at least 550 people died during the five-day event.
