Around 16,000 individuals were injured during the traditional sheep slaughter in Turkiye on the first day of Eid al-Adha. Health Minister Fahrettin Koca revealed that many of the injuries were caused by amateur attempts at sacrificing the animals, emphasizing the risks involved in inexperienced handling. The incident led to over 1,300 cases in Ankara, 840 in Istanbul, and 416 in Izmir alone. Tragically, one person in Istanbul suffered a fatal heart attack at a slaughterhouse. Despite regulations requiring slaughtering to take place in designated areas, many locals tend to overlook these rules, resulting in a significant number of injuries during the holiday. Eid al-Adha, known as Qurban Bayram in Turkiye, holds religious significance as it commemorates Ibrahim’s obedience to God by being willing to sacrifice his son. The holiday took place on June 16 in Turkiye.
