At least 107 people have died and at least 238 injured after a huge crane toppled over and crashed through the roof of Islam’s most holy site in Mecca.
A violent rainstorm and strong winds brought down the crane at the Grand Mosque as constructions workers were trying to make the huge complex safer for the millions of visiting Hajj pilgrims expected in the coming weeks.
Tons of rubble and debris rained down scores of people gathering in the mosque for 6.30pm prayers when a section of the crane crashed through the roof.
