'We send special prayers to those who have lost a loved one and to all the families of the region as they begin to rebuild,' the statement read.
US Ambassador to United Nations Nikki Haley expressed solidarity with Kerala flood-victims. "We send special prayers to those who have lost a loved one and to all the families of the region as they begin to rebuild," Haley said in a message tweeted by the US Mission to the UN.
"Our hearts go out to our Indian brothers and sisters in Kerala who have been affected by the worst monsoon and flooding in over 100 years. We send special prayers to those who have lost a loved one and to all the families of the region as they begin to rebuild," the statement read.
Last week, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric also expressed sadness over the loss of life and the destruction caused by the deluge in Kerala.
Dujarric said that the United States is following the situation in Kerala very closely.
"Our humanitarian colleagues, as well as the country team in India, have been following the recent floods very closely. The United Nations is of course saddened by the loss of life, destruction and displacement caused by floods in India," Dujarric noted.
