Five Moroccan pilgrims have died during the recent Hajj pilgrimage, according to a source within the Moroccan consulate in Saudi Arabia.

Three deaths were attributed to complications from diabetes and high blood pressure, while the remaining two were caused by heat exhaustion.

The source confirmed the information previously circulated by the Moroccan Consul General in Jeddah.

While the news is tragic, health experts see it as a critical opportunity to improve the safety of pilgrims with pre-existing conditions.

They emphasize the need for robust medical support and rigorous monitoring of pilgrims with chronic illnesses to ensure their physical fitness for the demanding pilgrimage.
