The number of Egyptians killed in the Hajj stampede last month climbed to 138 from 126, while 96 Egyptians are currently missing, Egypt's endowments minister said on Sunday.
Religious Endowments Minister Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa told a news conference, aired live on state television, that a "detailed report" on the incident has been handed to the Egyptian Cabinet.
Gomaa's announcement comes two days after he returned from Saudi Arabia, where he was leading Egypt's Hajj group.
A stampede in the Saudi tent city of Mina on September 24 left 769 dead when pilgrims either suffocated or were trampled while performing Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam.
Egypt's Health Ministry had announced Friday that it will compare DNA samples of the relatives of missing people with samples from the yet unidentified bodies in Saudi hospitals.
Pictures of dozens of Egyptians who went to Saudi for pilgrimage are being circulated on social media by family members who have lost contact with them. Many of them are senior citizens.
The Egyptian consulate in Jeddah has uploaded photos of unidentified persons killed and injured during the stampede to its official Facebook page and asked relatives of missing persons to identify them.
The stampede has killed and injured people from across the world, including over 450 from Iran, according to Iranian news sources.
The incident has sparked tensions between the Saudi Kingdom and Iran, the latter accusing Saudi authorities of "mismanaging the pilgrimage".
