Medina: The General Authority for Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque has significantly intensified its services to accommodate the growing number of worshippers at the Prophet's Mosque during this year's Hajj season. This includes ensuring a continuously accessible supply of Zamzam water in containers and bottles inside the mosque, on its rooftop, and at chilled water drinking points in the courtyards.
According to Saudi Press Agency, statistics released today by the authority highlight the extensive services provided. From Dhul-Qi'dah 15 to Dhul-Hijjah 1, some 218,336 bottles of Zamzam water were distributed to worshippers and visitors in both the men's and women's sections of the Prophet's Mosque. The total amount of Zamzam water consumed reached a staggering 3,360 tons.
Furthermore, 301,802 iftar meals were provided to fasting individuals within the Prophet's Mosque, distributed in designated iftar areas. Services dedicated to the care of the Prophet's Mosque and its visitors also included the use of 7 kg of the finest incense to fumigate the mosque and Rawdah before prayers, at the doors, and in the corridors. Additionally, 52,625 liters of disinfectants and sanitizers were used for the comprehensive cleaning, sterilization, and disinfection of the mosque and its facilities.
