King Mohammed VI sent a message of condolences and solidarity to American President Joe Biden, following hurricane Ida which hit regions of the northeastern United States, leading to significant human and material damage.
“In this painful circumstance, the Sovereign expresses to the American President and to the grieving families and the friendly American people, His deep condolences and His most sincere condolences and deepest sympathy,” read a statement from MAP.
The storm had hit the southern US states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, on Sunday, causing widespread power outages and killing at least six people. Reconnaissance flights, on Wednesday, revealed entire communities devastated by winds and floods in Southern Louisiana, as officials continued to assess the damage.
The storm invoked memories of Superstorm Sandy. In 2012, the Sandy storm swept across the Atlantic and caused widespread devastation in New York City, New Jersey, and surrounding areas.
