One of the survivors from the recent stampede in Saudi Arabia, an
indigene of Osun State, resident in Warri, Delta State revealed that
paramedics ignored African pilgrims and concentrated on rescuing white
and Caucasian victims which resulted in a high casualty rate among
Africans.
He said he was stuck in the midst of dead bodies for more than two hours
and there was no help from paramedics, who favoured whites over blacks.
"I tried to escape but it was impossible as I was stuck in the midst of
many dead bodies and some people were climbing over me to find an
escape. I struggled to get myself up to the waist level. From my toe to
my waistline, people were all over and I could not get up. I was calling
the Saudi police and paramedics on the scene to help me but they didn’t
respond and I was stuck there for more than two hours as
they were busy helping whites, with no response to my plea,"
