The new deaths are from the governorates of Alexandria and Aswan. Their ages range between 63 to 81 years old, said the ministry's spokesman Khaled Meghad. 

They suffered circulatory and respiratory collapse while performing Hajj rituals, added the spokesman. 

Coordination is underway with Saudi authorities to issue death certificates for the deceased, he noted.
