Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, offered on Saturday their condolences to Tunisia over the victims of the flash floods, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

In separate cables to President Caid Essebsi, they expressed the sincere condolences of the Saudi government and people to the families of the victims.

At least five people were killed in flash floods in Tunisia, announced the interior ministry on Thursday.

The drownings come less than a month after torrential rains killed at least five people in the northeastern region of Cap Bon.
