“I received the news of the unfortunate incident with sadness, and I pray that Allah grants the victims the strength to endure this loss,” he said in a statement on Sunday.

The Senator said the fund, approved by the National Economic Council (NEC), is intended to assist victims of natural disasters.
“The release and proper disbursement of the fund would significantly impact the lives of countless individuals affected by the flood,” the statement added.
