Faces of missing pilgrims drop one after the other in a Telegram channel, depicting Nadia, Samiyah, and Muhammad, among others. The pictures are accompanied by names, last seen location, contact numbers, and pleas for help. The ‘Disappeared at Hajj 1445’ Telegram channel swelled to 4,000 members as loved ones searched for missing Egyptian pilgrims. Tragically, the faces of missing Egyptian pilgrims vanish during the Hajj pilgrimage, one of the five pillars of Islam. Despite the dream of performing Hajj, around 1,000 pilgrims lost their lives due to extreme heat in Saudi Arabia. \ Source link
