Speaking to Tunisie Numérique, head of the health mission for Tunisian pilgrims, Hamadi Soussi, noted that the most difficult step of Hajj is “Al-Nafra”, where around 3 million pilgrims leave in one direction, remarking that the number of Tunisian pilgrims is approximately 11,000 pilgrims, and the Tunisian authorities have provided approximately 50,000 buses to exit at the same time.
Soussi added that there are many hardships that pilgrims may face, particularly in light of the extremely high temperatures and the lack of hours of sleep, which causes exhaustion and fatigue for many, adding that the possibility of some pilgrims getting lost in all of this. The conditions are likely and very normal.
