As the year and the date are uncertain, Soomro stated that these videos are fake and that it is impossible to confirm their veracity. He highlighted that the mission later examined the information on which the PHM is based, which comes from the Saudi government.
Nine Pakistani pilgrims had passed away in Mashair as of 4:00 pm on June 18, which included 2 in Muzdalifah, three in Arafat, and four in Mina.

Soomro declared that the severe heat, exceeding 50 degrees Celsius, has made the Hajj difficult. He emphasized that before taking action, the mission confirms assertions of casualties.
Rest assured, if the heirs desire, arrangements can be made to repatriate the pilgrim’s body to Pakistan. The government of Saudi Arabia has established comprehensive arrangements for burials and funeral prayers in Haramin, ensuring the dignity and respect of our beloved pilgrims.
