MAKKAH — The Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) ambulance teams in Makkah swiftly responded to a medical emergency at the Grand Mosque, successfully reviving a Pakistani Umrah performer who had lost consciousness and suffered cardiac arrest.

The SRCA received an alert at 11:19 AM reporting an unconscious Umrah performer at the King Fahd Walkway. Ambulance teams were immediately dispatched to the scene and found the Umrah performer, a man in his 50s, unresponsive.
