page 432 note 1 This is a problem which is of interest to all the Moslem world. Pilgrims go to the Mecca in increasingly large numbers and meet difficulties in the course of their journey particularly when they travel overland. The gathering of pilgrims in large numbers gives rise to medical and health problems which National Societies can contribute to solving. For this reason recommendation No. VIII urges that a study be undertaken on “responsibilities which National Red Crescent Societies could assume in order the better to satisfy pilgrims' collective health and humanitarian needs”.
