    they do a pretty decent job cooling the place, the problems are outside the kaaba area though, as they can’t cool down all the city,

    the jordinians who died were sleeping in the desert as they were without permits and wanted to hide from the authorities.

    the Egyptians though were not mentioned on any other news sites I know and I don’t see any references or sources, so I call bullshit.
