REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MECCA -- The number of Indonesian pilgrims who died in the crane tragedy in Mecca increased to 11, following the discovery of one more body of Indonesian citizens, according to an official.

"At 11 a.m. Saudi time, Darwis Rahim Cogge hailing from Ujung Pandang, one of the injured victims of the collapsed crane case passed away," Chief Organizer of Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims (PPIH) for Mecca Desk (Daker), Arsyad Hidayat, said here, on Tuesday.

It was reported earlier that Darwis Rahim Cogge went missing, Hidayat stated.

Currently, 23 Indonesian pilgrims are still being treated in Saudi hospitals, and 18 others have recovered.

On September 11, a storm rocked the city and caused a crane to collapse that caved in parts of Masjidil Haram Mosque, the world's largest, which was packed with pilgrims when the incident occurred.

In the meantime, Saudi authorities noted on Saturday that Islam`s annual Hajj pilgrimage would not be affected by Friday's crane collapse that killed 108 and injured 238 pilgrims at Mecca's Grand Mosque, local news channel Al Arabiya reported.

Prince Khalid Al Faisal, the Mecca governor, and head of the central Hajj committee have ordered renovations of all areas, which were damaged during the deadly incident, the report stated.
