TUNISIA HAS SUSPENDED THE HAJJ BECAUSE OF THE SWINE FLU

Minister of Religious Affairs Boubaker Akhzouri announced that the hajj had been postponed in order to" preserve human life".

The risk of the spread of swine flu and the impossibility of vaccinating candidates for the annual pilgrimage to Mecca was the reason.

This was an unprecedented decision that affects about 10,000 Tunisians
