[Reuters] - Fourteen Jordanians have been reported dead during the annual Muslim haj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, some of them due to heat stroke, while 17 others were reported missing, the Jordanian foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday. ------------------------------------ Jordan has fewer than 10% of Hajj attendees so final death toll will likely be over 100, probably over 200. Last year the Hajj death toll was about 240. |
