President George W. Bush called President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Wednesday to extend his condolences for the death of 50 people after days of flooding in his country.

Bush, who visited Indonesia in November, also extended his “support” to the Indonesian people and “noted that the US Embassy in Indonesia is closely cooperating with the Indonesian government,” White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.

According to the latest casualty toll, flooding in Jakarta has killed 50 people and forced some 350,000 to abandon their homes.
