No Azerbaijanis were injured in a fire blazed up in hotel Ali Musa, Mecca yesterday, said the CMO official. “Azerbaijani pilgrims are staying in other hotels.”
Payizov said Azerbaijani pilgrim Fakhraddin Zeynalli who died of hear failure yesterday will be buried in Mecca. “According to the Saudi Arabia’s laws, those who died during the Hajj pilgrimage should be buried there.”
No Azerbaijanis are among the victims of the tragic Mina stampede which killed over 700 people and left hundreds more injured, the CMO official noted.
“The reports that Fakhraddin Zeynalli died in the stampede at Mina are false. He died of heart failure. The Azerbaijani pilgrims will today begin a stone-throwing ritual, and then they will return to the country,” the CMO official added.
Some 753 pilgrims died, 887 were injured as a result of crush in Mecca. More than 4,000 rescuers are working on the scene, and 220 ambulances were deployed to the site. According to preliminary data, the death toll may increase.
