Palestinians Muslim Pilgrims

A Palestinian Muslim pilgrim is hugging a relative before boarding the bus at the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt on June 12, 2023, as pilgrims wait to cross into Egypt on their way to Saudi Arabia for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The Hajj, the largest annual pilgrimage in the world, is the fifth pillar of Islam, a religious duty that must be carried out at least once in the lifetime of every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so.
