More than 717 people taking part in the Hajj pilgrimage have been killed in a stampede near the Islamic holy city of Mecca.
Another 863 people were injured in the incident at Mina, which occurred as two million pilgrims were taking part in the Hajj's last major rite.
They converge on Mina to throw stones at pillars representing the devil.
This is the worst hajj accident for the last quarter century.
