As many as 90 thousand gallons ofzamam water in 5 liters of packaging from Indonesian pilgrims in 2023 has been sent to Indonesia.

Head of the Haryanto Airport Working Area (Kadaker) said the delivery of 5 liter additional Ezamzam water for each congregation was carried out in stages by the Saudi Arabia Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH).

"Until today, we have only sent 90 thousand gallons ofzam water. So there is still a lot to be sent," he said in a written statement, Friday, July 14, which was confiscated by Antara.

Haryanto said the additionalzamzam water would be sent to 13 embarkations throughout Indonesia.

For the collection, he said, we are waiting for information from the Regional Office (Kanwil) of the Ministry of Religion in each region.

However, technically, he said, pilgrims or families of Hajj participants could take part in the embarkation by carrying the passports of the congregation concerned.

"Regarding the collection ofzamam water, there will be further information from the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion," said Haryanto.

Previously, the implementation of the 2023 Hajj pilgrimage for Indonesian pilgrims would receive an additional five liters ofzamam water, so that the total number ofzamz water that would be received by the congregation was 10 liters.

As for the details, the first 5 liters were received by pilgrims upon arrival at the debarkation, while the next 5 liters were waiting for the second phase of shipments from Saudi Arabia.

"Arriving in the country, the congregation received five liters ofzamam water. For additionalzamz water, it was gradually started to be sent from Saudi Arabia," said Haryanto.

According to him, the addition of 5 liters ofzamam water is a blessing in itself for Indonesian pilgrims. The reason is, in the last 10 years, Indonesian pilgrims have only obtained 5 liters ofzamam water.
