Saudi Arabia is continuing preparations for this year's Hajj pilgrimage, despite the tragic collapse of a crane last week on the roof of the Grand Mosque of Mecca, killing over 100 people. Pilgrims continue to arrive in the country from different parts of the world. Asked if they are afraid of an accident, a Pakistani pilgrim, Ali Mohamed, he said "no, no, people are even more enthusiastic after the incident because it is a natural disaster. We are not afraid." Over 1 million pilgrims are in Mecca and the number is expected to reach 2.2 million by next weekend. The construction works are visible throughout the city while the Saudi government tries to accommodate the growing number of visitors. Technology is also widely used this year for a better control of the crowd. "We have applied the system nafez. There are cameras placed in two helicopters to monitor the services. There are traffic and pilgrims everywhere. Another system, 'Najm', is used to identify any problems in the organization and monitoring of pilgrimage" says Osman Idriz , board member of the Institute of Organization of Hajj. Each year, the authorities hire guides to accompany the pilgrims. This year, 12 thousand guides, or 10 percent more. Also, security is very high with 1,300 police deployed around the Grand Mosque. Meanwhile, to avoid any health problems and be prepared for any incident, the government is building the nine hospitals that added 20 existents, in the service of pilgrims.
