"So far, it seems most of the Indonesian nationals, particularly students, are not yet ready to be evacuated or to leave Yemen," Ambassador Aulia told ANTARA`s correspondent in Cairo on Sunday evening.
Most of the Indonesian students stayed and studied in Hadramaut Province, eastern Yemen, he said.,
The embassy`s staff could not visit Hadramaut due to the security problem, he said.
However, the embassy would find a way for evacuation, he added.
Some 2,300 Indonesians are still staying in Yemen and hundreds had already been evacuated back to Indonesia in the worsening situation in that country.
Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa recently confirmed the death of two Indonesian students in Yemen saying they were trapped in a fire fight in the conflict-ridden country.
"We offered our deep condolences (over the students` death). On November 26 our embassy in Sanaa received a report about the death of our brothers in a fire fight at an institute of higher learning where they studied," he said at a meeting with the House of Representatives (DPR) Commission I for defense, information and foreign affairs.
The two Indonesian citizens studied at a religious institute of higher learning in Yemen`s southwestern province of Saada bordering Saudi Arabia. They were among 25 people killed in a bomb attack on the campus which also injured 48 others on November 26.
