US offers sympathy to five countries across the region

The United States has expressed condolences over the loss of life caused by severe flooding in Southeast Asia.

As Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam were facing major floods, the US government expressed its “deepest condolences” to the families and friends of those who had died due to the heavy rains and flooding across the region.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those across the region affected by this tragedy,” said the statement issued by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday on behalf of President Barack Obama and the people of the United States.
“Our embassies in the region are working with local authorities and international organisations to assess how the United States can be of help to countries where the impact of the flooding has been especially devastating,” the statement said.
