Riyadh, October 21 (RHC)-- The official death toll from the recent deadly human crush during the Hajj rituals in Mina, near the holy Saudi city of Mecca, has hit 2,165, according to latest figures given by foreign governments.

Mali has announced 198 pilgrims dead, followed by Egypt with 182 deaths, Bangladesh with 137, Indonesia with 129, India with 116, Pakistan with 102, and Cameroon with 76.
