Jakarta (ANTARA) – The government is closely monitoring 58,873 Indonesian umrah pilgrims in Saudi Arabia following escalating security tensions in the Middle East that have disrupted flight schedules, an official said on Sunday.Puji Raharjo, Director General of Hajj and Umrah Implementation, said authorities are tracking developments and urged pilgrims to remain calm while staying in contact with their registered travel organizers.”We advise all umrah pilgrims not to panic. Stay calm and maintain communication with your travel organizers for official and up-to-date information,” Puji said in a statement.Several airlines have adjusted flight routes and delayed schedules as a precaution amid rising regional tensions, potentially affecting both pilgrims currently in Saudi Arabia and those in Indonesia awaiting departure.Puji also called on travel organizers to coordinate closely with the Indonesian Hajj Office (KUH), the Consulate General in Jeddah and the Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh to ensure swift responses to any developments.”The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah continues coordinating with domestic and Saudi authorities to ensure the safety and security of Indonesian umrah pilgrims remain our top priority,” he said.The government reiterated its commitment to protecting pilgrims and ensuring that any policy adjustments prioritize safety and comfort.Families in Indonesia were urged to remain calm, avoid unverified information and rely on official updates from travel organizers.The tensions escalated after reports of joint US-Israeli military action targeting Iran early Saturday, followed by retaliatory strikes, raising security concerns across parts of the region.
