Abubakar Adamu, head of Nigeria’s medical team for 2024 Hajj, told journalists on Monday that the pilgrim died due to heatstroke while on his way to Jamrate to perform the ritual of throwing stones.
Accroding to NAN, the Saudi authorities have directed pilgrims to stop going to the Jamarat due to excessive heat between the hours of 11am and 4pm.”Even before the commencement of this year’s hajj operation, we have been educating and sensitising members of the medical team on how to prevent heatstroke that could arise from heatwave,” Adamu said.
“Pilgrims are also advised to pay close attention to all health advisories and instructions provided by the medical team,” he said.“To limit sun exposure, pilgrims should avoid going outside during peak heat. They should also refrain from walking in the sun.”
