According to Khaleej Times, the Saudi Red Crescent Authority in Madinah helped transport 15 injured to the hospital for treatment via three ambulances. It also swept into action following seven traffic incidents, transferring six injured to the hospital.

Madīnah, also transliterated as Medina, is a city and administrative headquarters of the Al-Madinah Region of Saudi Arabia. At the city's heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi ("the Prophet's Mosque"), which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This is the second-holiest city in Islam after Mecca.
Mecca also witnessed heavy rainfall and severe traffic disruptions.
