Hajj 2025 Deaths. At least 1,301 people died during this year’s hajj pilgrimage that took place during an exceptional heatwave in saudi arabia, according to an official death toll. More than 1,300 people died making the islamic pilgrimage of hajj in saudi arabia this month, the vast majority of whom the saudi government said did not have.

The death toll from this year’s hajj has exceeded 1,000, an afp tally said thursday, more than half unregistered worshippers who performed the pilgrimage in. The number of deaths during the annual islamic pilgrimage raised questions about saudi arabia’s preparations for intense heat and unregistered participants.
