The number of Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who died in Saudi Arabia continues to increase this year.

Based on data from Siskohat, the Directorate General of Hajj and Umrah Organization (DJPHU) of the Ministry of Religion, Wednesday (5/7/2023) at 10:40 WIB, there were 373 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who died in the Holy Land.

This data is the cumulative number of Hajj pilgrim deaths up to the 43rd day since their arrival in the Holy Land.

Of that number, 253 Hajj pilgrims died in Mecca. This is equivalent to 67.82% of the total Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who died in the Holy Land.

Furthermore, 64 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims died in Mina, followed by 37 in Medina, and 15 in Arafah. Meanwhile, the number of Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who died in Jeddah was the lowest, at only 4 people.

In the last seven years, the number of Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who died this year ranks fourth highest since 2015. The highest number of deaths was recorded in 2017 with 658 people, followed by 627 in 2015, and 473 in 2019.

Meanwhile, the lowest number of Indonesian Hajj pilgrim deaths in the last seven years was in 2022, with 89 people. The low number of Hajj pilgrim deaths during that period was due to the fact that the quota for Indonesian pilgrims had not yet returned to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic, with only 100,051 pilgrims last year.

Unlike this year, the Indonesian Hajj quota has returned to pre-pandemic levels at 229,000 pilgrims. In fact, based on data from the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) collected by *Databoks.co.id*, the Hajj pilgrim quota in 2023 is the largest since 2004.

In addition, the majority of Indonesian Hajj pilgrims this year are elderly (65 years and older). The large number of pilgrims of non-productive age and the extreme temperatures in Saudi Arabia are contributing factors to the high number of Hajj pilgrim deaths in the Holy Land.
