The UAE has expressed its deepest condolences and solidarity with the Philippines after Typhoon Fung-wong left at least 18 people dead.

It left thousands displaced and caused severe damage to property and infrastructure.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its sincere condolences and sympathy to the victims' families and the government.
