The General Coordinator of Tunisian Health in the Holy Land, Hammadi Soussi, stated that 35 Tunisian pilgrims died in Mecca while performing Hajj rituals.

Al-Sousi also stated that 13 Tunisian pilgrims are currently receiving treatment in Saudi hospitals, explaining that among the deceased were five pilgrims who came within the official lottery system, while the other thirty arrived in Saudi Arabia on tourist visas, and the Tunisian mission had no information about their numbers or whereabouts.
