Major Middle East funerals over decades
The Middle East has witnessed many large-scale mass funerals for its leaders and figures, including the funeral of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1970, which was attended by millions in Cairo, and the funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader Khomeini in 1989, which drew over 10 million people and resulted in the deaths of more than ten individuals due to crowd surges, security efforts to control the situation, and chaos. The region also saw the funeral of singer Umm Kulthum in 1975, which was attended by millions of Egyptians. Additionally, the area has hosted funerals for Palestinian and Israeli icons, such as Yasser Arafat in 2004 and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, both characterized by enormous crowds and the gathering of hundreds of prominent figures.
