King Charles has written a message of support to those affected by the devastating floods in New South Wales, expressing his concern and offering condolences to grieving families.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife and I have been so greatly concerned to hear of the widespread and devastating flooding across the New South Wales Hunter and Mid North Coast regions of Australia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can only say that our thoughts are very much with all those who have been affected so badly, especially the family and friends of the five people who tragically lost their lives. We send our special prayers, and the deepest possible sympathy, to all who mourn them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He acknowledged the ongoing challenges facing communities, saying, \u201cAs the immediate emergency passes, I am only too aware that communities are confronting dreadful, soul-destroying damage to homes, properties and infrastructure, and the loss of precious livelihoods and livestock.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs many hundreds of families have been displaced from their homes, I am deeply conscious that the impact of the crisis will endure for many months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The King also praised those helping with the recovery, stating, \u201cI have the greatest admiration for the emergency services, the volunteers and volunteer organisations, as well as the disaster recovery agencies, who are now gathering to work together and support one another on the long road to recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbove all, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all those who, with the indomitable and generous spirit that is so much a part of the Australian character, will bring consolation and practical support to the thousands of people who are in desperate need.\u201d<\/p>\n
