The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health (MoH) organised a convoy of ambulances on Wednesday, June 12, to transport bedridden pilgrims from hospitals in Madinah to the holy sites in Makkah.

The 18 pilgrims of 12 nationalities were hospitalised in Jabal Al-Rahmah Hospital in Arafat, which enabled them to both complete their treatment and perform the Haj rituals for the year 1445 AH, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The convoy consists of a fleet of 31 ambulances, each equipped with all necessary medical equipment.
