 Our condolences, of course, to Saida and her family. Permits for the Hajj pilgrimage are allocated on a quota system to every country and distributed by lottery. However, others try to take part without a permit. Saudi Arabia's health minister said that 80% or so of those who died in the pilgrimage this year were unregistered. Many were elderly. Many had long-term illnesses. Almost half of those who lost their lives were believed to be from Egypt.
