Al menos 107 personas murieron y 238 resultaron heridas este viernes después de que colapsara una grúa ubicada encima de la Gran Mezquita de la Meca, en Arabia Saudita, el accidente que se produce dos semanas antes de la gran peregrinación anual.
La Gran Mezquita alberga en su patio la Kaaba, la enorme estructura en forma de cubo negro, en cuya dirección los musulmanes deben postrarse en todo el mundo para rezar.
