From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 31 July 2019

One hundred and eighty victims and bereaved from the March 15 mosque shootings will be taking a very special trip this week to the holiest place in Islam.

They will be travelling to Mecca for Hajj, something every Muslim is required to do if they are healthy and can afford it.

The trip has been paid for by the King of Saudi Arabia who says he wants to help heal the wounds created by the mosque shootings.
