Sayyed Abdul-Malik bin Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in his speech on Thursday, offered his condolences and sympathy to the Egyptian and Indonesian peoples, and to all the peoples who suffered loses in this year’s Hajj season as a result of the negligence of the Saudi regime.

Leader Sayyed said: The Saudi regime blackmails the pilgrims to the House of God with huge sums of money under the pretext of providing services, and then with deliberate negligence leads to hundreds of victims… adding: The Saudi regime has turned its interest in promiscuity and debauchery parties in exchange for a decline in its interest in the pilgrims to the Holy House of God.
He stressed that the Saudi regime is not worthy of serving Hajj and achieving its great Qur’anic and Islamic goals.

Videos spread of shocking scenes containing the bodies of pilgrims dumped on the side of the road, sparking anger on social media , questions about the reasons and health services for pilgrims, whose number approached two million people this year.

This sudden increase in the number of deaths came amid media reports that Saudi security forces arrested more than 300,000 people who were not registered to perform Hajj, and more than half of them came on tourist visas instead of official Hajj visas.

While reports indicate that there are other reasons related to poor organization and management, according to what activists and pilgrims monitored on social networking sites, and this raised questions about the effectiveness of organization and management on the part of the Saudi authorities concerned with providing guidance and services to pilgrims.
