The Wider Image: Resumption of haj pilgrimage brings joy and sorrow for Indonesians
Sri Wahyuningsih, 51, shows a picture of her father who died last March, at her house in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 8, 2022. After waiting more than a decade, Sri's parents were supposed to make the trip to Mecca in 2020 but that was cancelled because the coronavirus pandemic halted most international travel. Sutrisno sold his car and saved up 105 million rupiah over nine years to fund the trip for his wife's parents but the two-year hiatus cost them their chance to go together. "We didn't expect the pandemic to come so fast and stay for so long," he said. REUTERS/Willy Kurniawan SEARCH "KURNIAWAN INDONESIA HAJ" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES
