Published in Saudi Press Agency on 08 - 07 - 2022

The spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Dr. Mohammed Al-Abdali, confirmed that the general health of the pilgrims is reassuring with the availability of all health capabilities in all hospitals in the Arafat area, in addition to harnessing all health facilities and human resources, in preparation for the reception of pilgrims in Muzdalifah, implementing pre-set plans and providing services to them.
At the daily press conference for this year's Hajj season, which was held today in Makkah, with the participation of the security spokesman at the Ministry of Interior, Colonel Talal Al-Shalhoub, and the official spokesman for the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, Eng. Hesham Saeed, Al-Abdali said "the health status of the pilgrims is reassuring, and no outbreaks of diseases affecting public health have been recorded among them," calling on all pilgrims to avoid heat stress (sunstroke) to avoid any injuries related to stress or the occurrence of sunstroke and to resort to using umbrellas, drinking fluids and resting while performing the rituals and to avoid any chances of infection by wearing a mask.
He revealed that the number of beneficiaries of the health services provided in all health facilities in the Holy Sites exceeded 65,000, including 108 cardiac catheterization operations were performed, 313 dialysis sessions were provided, 177 surgeries and 10 endoscopic operations were performed. He added that 1831 pilgrims benefited from the services of the virtual hospital.
For his part, Colonel Talal Al-Shalhoub reiterated that the process of ascending the pilgrims to Arafat was completed at 8:15 am, and the pilgrims performed Dhuhr and Asr prayers at the Namera Mosque, safely and securely.
Al-Shalhoub added: "The second phase of the Mashaer (holy sites ) Journey is currently being implemented to transport pilgrims from Arafat to Muzdalifah and Mina. The pilgrims who walk on foot through the roads designated for them, and supporting the organization of transportation with frequent trips, and organize crowds at the entrances and exits of the Mashaer train stations.
He pointed out that the Hajj security forces in Muzdalifah and Mina, and the Grand Holy Mosque, carry out their duties in preparation for receiving the arrival of the pilgrims at Muzdalifah and their return to Mina and later heading for the Grand Holy Mosque to perform the circumambulation (Tawaf), to ensure their security and safety, and to manage their movements between their places of residence, the Jamarat facility, and the Grand Holy Mosque, and to organize crowds to throw Jamrat Al-Aqaba and perform Tawaf Al-Ifadah.
The security spokesperson noted that the seasonal administrative committees of the General Directorate of Passports at the entrances to the Holy City issued 23 administrative decisions against several violators for transporting people unauthorized to perform Hajj, until 9/12/1443 AH.
He underscored the commitment of the pilgrims and their adherence to the regulations and instructions streamlining the performance of the ritual, reiterating the importance of abiding by the regulations and instructions, and adhering to the timings, paths, and routes designated for throwing Jamrat Al-Aqaba and performing Tawaf Al-Ifadhah, and taking this into account when going to perform rituals and when returning to their places of residence.
The official spokesman for the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, Eng. Hisham Saeed, announced the successful completion of the grouping operations to Muzdalifah, where the ascending of pilgrims to the Arafat area was completed an hour and a half before the target time, noting that the ascendence to Arafat is one of the most important stages due to the diversity of flow points of pilgrims, as some of them arrive from Makkah while others come from the reception and gathering points of local pilgrims, in addition to the pilgrims who spent the day of Tarwiyah (water provision).
Eng. Hisham Saeed stressed that these efforts are the result of the regularity of the frequency of the movement of the frequency transport and Al-Mashaer train, highlighting that at 7:30 the process of flocking to Muzdalifah started in coordination with the traffic control points responsible for those paths through public and frequency transport and the Mashaer train, taking into account the time and schedule and the needs of the pilgrims, as some prefer to stay overnight in Muzdalifah and some want to go directly to Mina.
