3 Members of Iranian Quranic Delegation to Hajj Still Missing
It came after a Qari, Mohsen Hajihassani Kargar, and a member of Baqir al-Ulum Tawasheeh Group, Amin Bavi, who were with the delegation, were confirmed to have died in the incident.
Saleh Atharifard told IQNA that efforts to find the three have not yielded any results yet.
He said he and some officials from the Iranian Hajj Mission were in morgues to see if the bodies of the three were there.
“I have seen 1107 photos of the bodies in the morgue since this morning and none of the three missing members of the Iranian Quranic delegation were among them,” he stated.
Iran’s Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization has said that 228 Iranians lost their lives in the crush and 246 more are still missing.
Saeed Ohadi, the head of the organization, has said the number of the Iranian victims is expected to rise.
Some 64,000 Iranian pilgrims took part in the year’s Hajj pilgrimage.
