Hajj stampede deadliest ever as death toll rises to 1,791

Saudi Arabia has yet to provide an updated death toll after saying 769 Muslim pilgrims had died in the tragedy near Makkah.

Hundreds of pilgrims have also not been accounted for following the September 24 stampede at the Hajj, one of the largest annual gatherings in the world.

But many foreign governments have provided numbers on pilgrims killed from their countries. An AFP tally shows the death toll has overtaken the 1,426 pilgrims who died in the Hajj’s worst previous incident — a tunnel stampede in July 1990.
