…By Jack Sylva for TDPel Media.

Alongside the fatalities, the medical team overseeing the Hajj reported several cases of mental health challenges among the pilgrims.

However, Galadima expressed optimism, stating that these individuals were receiving treatment and were expected to participate in the Hajj, as they had stabilized under the care of the team’s four psychiatrists.

By implementing stricter screening measures, the aim is to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
