DeirEzzor24 exclusive report:
A DeirEzzor24 network local reporter said that approximately one-third of those registered to perform the Hajj (pilgrimage) from Deir Ezzor province withdrew after the financial cost of performing the Hajj was issued by the Assad regime.
He added that the cost of Hajj, which was approved by the Assad regime, amounted to 5,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to approximately 75 million Syrian pounds, of which 2,000 dollars is paid to the Ministry of Endowments, in addition to the amounts that the pilgrim needs for his own purposes and gifts.
The cost was not expected and surprised the Syrians because of the blackmail and financial slander in the name of religion for the benefit of the Ministry of Endowments, noting that expectations were not more than $3,000 in light of the difficult living conditions and the inability of most people to perform Hajj this year.
