On 24 September 2015, a crowd collapse caused the deaths of at least 2,256 people who were suffocated or crushed during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mina, Mecca.The Mina crush now stands as the deadliest Hajj disaster in history and based on the total of the individual national reports cited in the nationalities of victims table, may have been the deadliest crowd crush disaster to occur in modern times. The official government death toll in Saudi Arabia, where newspapers, broadcast media, and the Internet are heavily censored, has remained unchanged since two days after the event, with at least 769 reported killed and 934 others injured. However, outside sources have estimated the death toll to be much higher.On 20 October 2015, the Associated Press listed a death toll of at least 2,177.
