At least 717 pilgrims were killed on Thursday in a stampede outside the Muslim holy city of Mecca, where some two million people are performing the annual haj pilgrimage, Saudi authorities said Vans Old Skool Light Grey White Clearance , the worst disaster to strike the annual haj pilgrimage in 25 years.
At least 805 others were injured in the crush, which occurred when two large groups of pilgrims arrived together at a crossroads on Street 204 at the camp city at Mina, a few kilometers east of the Muslim holy city of Mecca, the Saudi civil defense said.
The pilgrimage Vans Old Skool Blue White Shoes Australia , the world's largest annual gathering of people, has been the scene of deadly disasters in the past, including stampedes, tent fires and riots.
Safety during haj is a politically sensitive issue for the kingdom's ruling Al Saud dynasty Vans Old Skool Canvas Wine Red White Sale , which presents itself internationally as the guardian of orthodox Islam and custodian of its holiest places in Mecca and Medina.
The government has spent billions of dollars upgrading and expanding haj infrastructure and crowd control technology in recent years, and the last big deadly incident took place in 2006 when at least 346 pilgrims died in a stampede.
Street 204 is one of the two main arteries leading through the camp at Mina to Jamarat, where pilgrims ritually stone the devil by hurling pebbles at three large pillars. Jamarat was also the site of the 2006 disaster and several other past ones.
An Arab pilgrim who did not want to give his name said he had hoped to perform the stoning ritual later on Thursday afternoon but was now too frightened to risk doing so.
"I am very tired already and after this I can't go. I will wait for the night and if it is not resolved, I will see if maybe somebody else can do it on my behalf Women's Vans Old Skool Pink White Online ," he said.
Photographs published on the Twitter feed of the Saudi civil defense showed pilgrims lying on stretchers while emergency workers in high-visibility jackets lifted them into an ambulance.
It said more than 220 ambulances and 4,000 rescue workers had been sent to the stampede's location to help the injured. Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya television channel showed a convoy of ambulances driving through the Mina camp.
BEIJING， Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's service sector continued to expand in December 2016， as a private survey showed Thursday that an index for the sector posted its strongest rate in 17 months.
The Caixin General Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) edged up to 53.4 last month from 53.1 in November 2016， according to the survey conducted by financial information service provider Markit and sponsored by Caixin Media Co. Ltd.

UNITED NATIONS， Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- Three UN agencies have warned that war and a collapsing economy have left some 100，000 people facing starvation in parts of South Sudan where famine was declared on Monday， Farhan Haq， the deputy UN spokesman， told reporters here.
"A further one million people are on the brink of famine，" Haq said at a daily news briefing here. "The situation is the worst hunger catastrophe since fighting erupted in the country more than three years ago."
World Food Programme (WFP) Country Director Joyce Luma stressed that this famine is man-made， Haq said， adding that she said the entire humanitarian community has been trying with all its might to avoid this catastrophe， mounting a humanitarian response of a scale that would have seemed impossible three years ago.
But she said there is only so much that humanitarian assistance can achieve in the absence of meaningful peace and security， both for relief workers and the crisis-affected people they serve.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)， the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and WFP also called for urgent action to prevent more people from dying of hunger， he said.
"If sustained and adequate assistance is delivered urgently， the situation can be improved in the coming months and further suffering mitigated，" Haq said. "Unimpeded humanitarian access to everyone facing famine， or at risk of famine， is urgently needed to reverse the escalating catastrophe."
