AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Some 400 tons of Zamzam water is supplied to the Prophet’s Mosque in Median every day during the Hajj season.
The water is transported from Mecca on a daily basis, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The holy water is poured into 10,000 containers which are available around the mosque, and an additional 5,000 containers are used in case needed.
As many as 530 employees and supervisors are involved in filling the containers and transferring them to their designated places in the mosque, on its roof, and in its courtyard.
Seven sites at the mosque were designated for filling containers and three areas were used to cool single-use Zamzam water bottles, 80,000 of which are distributed daily, the report added.
Saudi Arabia expects more than two million pilgrims from over 160 countries during this Hajj season after the lifting of pandemic-related restrictions.
The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is a mandatory religious duty that must be performed by those Muslims who are physically and financially able to perform it, at least once in a lifetime.
