The death toll from last month’s hajj stampede has risen to at least 1,849, according to tallies given by foreign officials, making it the deadliest incident in the pilgrimage’s history.

An Agence France Presse (AFP) tally from more than 30 countries shows the death toll has overtaken the 1,426 pilgrims who died in the hajj’s worst previous incident — a tunnel stampede in July 1990.

This is the breakdown of the dead from foreign governments:

– Iran: 464 dead

– Egypt: 182 dead
