Over 150 people have been killed and 390 wounded in a stampede during Haj pilgrimage outside Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

The stampede occurred during the devil-stoning ritual where Muslim pilgrims throw pebbles at three walls in Mina.

Today was the last day of the pilgrimage.

It is the second tragedy at Mecca in a month. Earlier, the crane collapse at Mecca’s Grand Mosque had killed more than 100 people.
