HAJJ Ministry prepares for pilgrimage in hot weather In view of the rising mercury levels, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah has instructed the authorities to initiate precautionary measures to ensure Haj pilgrims have a safe and comfortable Haj this year. The Haj Ministry held a meeting to review the Haj arrangements this year where temperatures are expected to touch record highs. The meeting was chaired by Haj Minister Bandar Hajjar in Jeddah on Thursday. “The Kingdom accords the highest priority to serving pilgrims as it wants them to perform their rituals safely and comfortably,” Hajar told the media. The temperature is forecast to be between 39 and 47 degrees Celsius during Haj this year and this trend is expected to stay for the next couple of years. Accordingly, the authorities have outlined some strategic plans that include suggestions and solutions for pilgrims to bear the hot weather for this and consecutive Haj seasons. Hajjar said that experts had also discussed awareness programs to minimize the impact of sunstroke, the signs and symptoms and health issues due to hot weather conditions. “We also discussed safety in the pilgrims’ use of electrical appliances,” he said. He pointed out that improving the public transport system between the three major cities of Madinah, Jeddah and Makkah including the train service would certainly ease the hardship of pilgrims. The minister also talked about the expansion work taking place in the Grand Mosque and the ministry’s efforts to make the rituals of Haj and Umrah more comfortable in the future. The officials also discussed the availability of pilgrims’ facilities in Madinah. According to the Haj ministry officials, a total of 34 subjects were discussed during the workshop under three main themes. Among those who participated in the meeting were the governorate of tje Makkah region, the directorate general of Civil Defense, the Saudi Red Crescent Authority, the National Water Company, the Ministry of Health, the Saudi Electricity Company and the Makkah Municipality
