RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman sent a cable of condolences to the Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. over victims of Tropical Storm Nalgae that killed at least 100 people across the Southeast Asian country, the Saudi Press Agency reported early Thursday. “We send to Your Excellency, the families of the deceased and the Filipino people, our deepest and sincere condolences,” the king said, wishing the injured a speedy recovery and the missing a safe return. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman also sent a similar cable to the Filipino president. Tropical Storm Nalgae, also known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Paeng, barreled across the country over the weekend and set off flash floods and landslides, leaving behind a trail of destruction and flooding in one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries. The worst storm impact was recorded in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which had been swamped by unusually heavy rains. At least 53 people were killed in its Maguindanao province, according to data from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. The region’s chief minister, however, said authorities are recovering more bodies from a huge mudslide in Maguindanao’s Datu Odin Sinsuat town.
