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.
