MAKKAH – In a concerning development, two pilgrims who went missing during their Hajj journey have not yet been located despite ongoing search efforts. Idun Rohim Zen, aged 87, from Embarkasi Palembang Kloter 20 (PLM 20), and Suharja Wardi Ardi, aged 69, from Embarkasi Kertajati Kloter 10 remain unaccounted for, prompting authorities to intensify their search in the areas of Arafah, Mudzalifah, and Mina.
Multiple search and patrol teams have been deployed to scour the regions of Arafah, Mudzalifah, and Mina in an attempt to locate the missing pilgrims. These efforts involve a coordinated operation with various elements of the Makkah security forces working diligently to cover vast areas. The search and patrol teams have meticulously combed through the deserts, valleys, and other potential locations where the missing pilgrims might have wandered off. Unfortunately, despite their dedicated efforts, the two pilgrims have not been found yet.
Despite the challenges faced in locating the missing pilgrims, authorities remain determined to find them. The fourth search operation to Arafah has recently begun, and it commenced with a prayer led by the Makkah security forces. The solemn prayer, performed collectively, serves as a source of unity, strength, and hope for all those involved in the search operations.
"So far we have search around Arafah for the fourth time. We have gone through every hospital and morgue yet to no avail," The Head of Armuzna Operational Team, Harun Al Rasyid said on Friday (14/7/2023)
The prayers not only provide spiritual support but also act as a reminder of the significance and sanctity of the pilgrimage. The search teams, consisting of security forces, volunteers, and local community members, are working tirelessly, driven by their unwavering faith and the belief that every effort made brings them closer to finding the missing pilgrims.
Support from Local Communities
The local communities have played an integral role in supporting the search efforts. They have provided valuable information, assistance, and resources to aid the search teams in their operation. Additionally, mosques and religious centers have also joined hands in spreading awareness and encouraging individuals to remain vigilant and report any relevant information that may help locate the missing pilgrims.
While the duration of the search has grown, hope for the safe return of Idun Rohim Zen and Suharja Wardi Ardi remains high. Authorities and search teams understand the emotional toll on the families and the urgency to provide answers. Efforts are being made to expedite the search operations without compromising on the thoroughness required to cover the vast search areas.
The search for Idun Rohim Zen and Suharja Wardi Ardi, the two missing pilgrims, continues to be a top priority for the authorities, search teams, and the local communities. Despite the extensive search operations conducted in the areas of Arafah, Mudzalifah, and Mina, they have not yet been found. The dedicated efforts, unwavering determination, and the prayers offered during the search operations are a testament to the commitment to finding the missing pilgrims. As the search continues, the collective hope remains that Idun Rohim Zen and Suharja Wardi Ardi will be located soon, bringing solace and relief to their families and the broader community. (*)
