The death toll from last month's Haj stampede has risen to at least 1,633, according to tallies given by foreign officials, making it the deadliest incident in the pilgrimage's history.
Hundreds of pilgrims have also not been accounted for following the September 24 stampede at the Haj, one of the largest annual gatherings in the world.
Many foreign governments have provided numbers on pilgrims killed from their countries and an AFP tally shows the death toll has overtaken the 1,426 pilgrims who died in the Haj's worst previous incident - a tunnel stampede in July 1990.
