Today, June 15th, 2024, Mina. Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz, who serves as the Deputy Governor of Makkah Region and the Deputy Chairman of the Central Hajj Committee, has confirmed that the influx of pilgrims to Mina has come to an end without any epidemics or other events that have impeded their Hajj rituals. Prince Saud bin Mishaal expressed his gratitude to the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, as well as His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for their unwavering support throughout the Hajj season. When Prince Saud arrived in Mina to check on the Hajj activities and follow up on them, he made the following declaration: "We, in this blessed country, are all honored to serve the pilgrims who are coming to perform the fifth pillar of Islam." Every effort will be made to make their lives easier.
This is merely a continuation of the approach that has been in use in this country from King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman's reign until our prosperous day. This method has ensured that the two holy mosques and holy locations, along with their visitors, receive the utmost attention and care. Furthermore, Prince Saud noted that the administration of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has dispatched all of its departments and employees to assist the pilgrims. The Ministry of Health has prepared 189 hospitals and health clinics, with a few serving as field hospitals.
Prince Saud has confirmed that they have acquired more than three million cubic meters of water to meet their needs during their stay in Makkah and the holy sites. Prince Saud has built the Mashaer Train to transport two million pilgrims, aided by seventeen thousand vehicles equipped with the latest technological advancements. We made this decision to simplify the rituals. As a matter of obligation, we are here to serve you in every possible way, as Prince Saud declared.
Thus, worship and adore Allah's rituals while avoiding sins, immorality, and disagreements. Addressing security personnel and employees from government, corporate, and voluntary agencies, Prince Saud praised them for their tremendous efforts to ensure pilgrims' safety and dissuade anyone who attempts to jeopardize Hajj security or break laws. He requested that a variety of organizations, including those that are public, private, and voluntary, increase their efforts and provide the pilgrims with the highest possible level of care and attention.
