Another 5,000 containers have been put on standby.
Up to 80,000 bottles filled with Zamzam water are distributed daily.

The news agency reports that 530 employees and supervisors are involved in filling the containers.
They are placed in designated locations in the mosque, on the roof, and in the courtyard.
Seven places in the mosque are designated for filling containers, and three areas are used for cooling disposable water bottles from Zamzam.
