MEKKAH - Hajj Organizing Officers (PPIH) 1444 H Saudi Arabia continue to make preventive efforts by distributing dates, oral, and mineral water to pilgrims who will throw jumrah in congregation, in front of the Indonesian Hajj Mission Office in Mina.

Officers not only distributed dates, oral, and mineral water, but also sprayed water on the congregation's bodies as an effort to anticipate heavy stroke.

Saudi Arabia's PPIH Financial Controller Jaja Jaelani, said that in organizing the pilgrimage, the Saudi Arabian PPIH really thought about the needs of both in tents and traveling to the congregation.

"As we know, the location of the congregation's tents to the congregation is quite far away. This is our preventive effort so that the congregation does not get tired and has provisions when going to the congregation," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 30.

He said the distance from the congregation's tents to the congregation to return and forth could be up to 16 kilometers, not to mention the hot weather, so there needs to be provisions so that the congregation does not get tired.

"Therefore, we have prepared several snacks such as bread, dates, and so on. We hope that this snack can help the congregation as provisions for the congregation," he said.

He hopes that this snack can increase the immunity and stamina of the congregation so that they are not tired and return to their tents healthy and safe.

"We distribute it to the congregation every time there is an opportunity," he said.

He hopes that Indonesian pilgrims can stay healthy and strong, so that they can complete the pillars of the hajj and become a large pilgrimage.

"We will try our best to provide services to the congregation," he said.
