Officials in Saudi Arabia say another 863 injured while 717 dead

Similar tragedies have happened at the Hajj before
What is Hajj?
Millions of Muslims travel from around the world to go to Saudi Arabia to complete the Hajj pilgrimage in the holy city of Mecca.
It is the fifth and final pillar of Islam and takes place in the 12th month of the Islamic calendar.
Why do so many people go?
It is a spiritual pilgrimage that every adult Muslim must perform at least once in their lives, if they can afford it and are physically able.
The journey is central to the faith.
What is the stoning of the devil?
Pilgrims travel to Mina, a large valley about 5km (3 miles) from Mecca, where they throw 49 stones over three days at three pillars called jamarat, which represent the devil.
It houses more than 160,000 tents where pilgrims spend the night before the event.
Why have so many people been killed before?
There have been numerous tragedies at Hajj over the years, but this latest stampede is the deadliest in 25 years.
It seem accidents happen because of the sheer amount of people that turn up.
What happens next?
The Saudi authorities have spent billions of dollars on improving transport and other infrastructure in the area in an attempt to try to prevent more accidents.
