Like every year, the Palestinian flag was present in the Arbaeen walk this year as well. However, this time, the red, black, white, and green were more prominent with every step taken toward Karbala.

Pilgrims walking from Najaf to Karbala this year have come out fully in support of Palestinians in Gaza, calling for an end to the Israeli genocidal war and occupation.

Iran's Interior Minister has confirmed that the country’s borders are "fully prepared" to facilitate the movement of pilgrims for this year’s Arbaeen procession.

Given that at least 1,300 pilgrims lost their lives in this year’s Hajj pilgrimage, it’s important for Saudi authorities to learn from Iraqis the art of managing a pilgrimage.

This year’s Arbaeen congregation in the Iraqi holy city of Karbala hit a record high as millions streamed into the city after walking by foot from the holy city of Najaf, a shrine official tells Press TV website.

Year after year, more and more pilgrims join the Arbaeen procession, joining a call for justice and action.

People in Iran have marked Arba'een, the fortieth day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad.
