At least 717 people have been killed and more than 850 are injured in a stampede at the annual Hajj pilgrimage, Saudi Arabia's civil defence directorate said, as the death toll continued to rise. The street where it happened is named Street 204. This stampede did not happen at the site of the 'stoning of the devil' ritual, which was happening today. During and after the stampede the pilgrims continued to flock into Mina to perform the devil stoning ritual.
