orty-nine people evacuated by Indonesian authorities from Middle Eastern countries affected by the armed conflict between Israel and Iran safely landed in Jakarta on Wednesday, with more evacuees expected to arrive in Indonesia in the coming days.
Wednesday’s entourage consisted of 48 Indonesians and one foreign national married to an Indonesian evacuated from Iran on Tuesday. They fled the country through a 16-hour land trip to neighboring Azerbaijan.
“The 49 evacuees flew in three separate commercial flights from Baku, Azerbaijan, and transited in Istanbul, Turkey, and Doha, Qatar, before arriving in Jakarta,” the Foreign Ministry’s citizen protection director, Judha Nugraha, said in a statement on Thursday.
In addition to 49 people from Iran, the ministry and the Indonesian Embassy in Muscat facilitated the return of three Indonesian nationals from northern Yemen, which is controlled by the Houthi armed group.
The Indonesian Embassy in Amman also helped two Indonesian nationals residing in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to return to Indonesia. The evacuees from Yemen and Israel also arrived in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Previously, 11 evacuees from Iran landed in Jakarta on Tuesday after flying from Baku through Turkey. It was initially planned to fly them through Qatar, but an Iranian missile attack against a Qatari base that houses United States forces prompted a closure of the airspace in the region.
