Umrah latest news
After lifting the cap on the number of pilgrims allowed to perform Umrah at one time, Saudi Arabian authorities have now rolled out multiple security policies and initiatives to ensure the safety of the pilgrims at the holy sites:
Designated personnel
As announced by the authorities, around the holy sites, designated personnel will help manage the crowds performing Umrah. The designated personnel or stationed officers receive training to prevent stampedes and guide people in an organised manner.
According to the Kingdom’s Director of Public Security, the Umrah security forces will implement the Ministry of Interior plan to manage and organise crowds, control traffic, provide humanitarian services, and train personnel on the ground.
Moreover, the authorities have also stated that all teams are prepared to handle the large influx of worshippers, especially during Ramadan.
AI technology
Previously, it was announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would develop artificial intelligence algorithms to help crowd management and streamline services for pilgrims visiting the holy sites.
On-the-ground personnel will use AI to provide the best services to pilgrims.
According to the authorities, AI technologies introduced recently around the mosques have been helping keep crowds under control as they enter and leave while ensuring that the right number of people are present anywhere around the sites at any given time.
Protection of children
As during the holy month of Ramadan, the Grand Mosque witnesses an influx of children accompanying their family members on Umrah, the Agency for Women’s Social, Voluntary and Humanitarian Services has now launched an initiative to provide each child with a bracelet with their personal information in case they get lost, as a preventive measure.
To ensure that the children return to their family members if they lose sight of them in the crowds, the bracelet will list the child’s name, data, and their accompanying adult’s contact information.
