The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah said that it reactivated the "Be a Helper" volunteering program again after its two-year hiatus, due to the Corona pandemic, and set the program's operational plan for the Hajj season this year 1443 AH. The Ministry has identified several specialized tracks for volunteers that meet needs of the pilgrims, including hospitality, health and emergency services, watering, translation and guidance, providing assistance to the elderly, reducing food waste, and administrative support. The Ministry provided many rehabilitation and development courses for volunteers by holding special camps for volunteers of both genders with integrated services, including housing and transportation. The number of volunteers of the "Be a Helper" program during this year's Hajj season is more than 3,000, who are divided into groups that work around the clock to provide assistance to the pilgrims in all areas of the holy sites.
