The following are condolence messages from the heads of foreign missions in Korea to the victims and their families of the Itaewon crowd crush on Oct. 29. — ED.

It is with deep pain and consternat­ion that I am following the sad news of the tragic accident that caused the deaths of more than a hundred human lives and others to be severely injured.

Please accepts our deepest condolence­s for the deaths of the people in Itaewon.

On behalf of the Sultanate of Oman Embassy in Seoul, I express my heartfelt condolence­s and deepest sympathy to the people and the government of Korea, and the families of those who lost their lives in the Itaewon tragedy on Oct. 29.

I would like to send my deepest wishes for speedy recovery to the injured

I am shocked at what happened in Itaewon. I deeply mourn the dead and wish for a fast recovery of the injured. Back in 1999, in

Belarus there was a similar tragedy, 54 people died in the stampede at the concert that time.

So I understand and share the great grief for Korea.

Joining the President of the Hellenic Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the people of Greece, I would like to express my deepest condolence­s and profound sympathy for the tragic loss of so many young people in Itaewon.

Our thoughts and prayers go also to all the families of the victims. We also wish a speedy recovery to all people injured. With full compassion, Greece stands together with you in this time of deep sorrow.

The tragic event on Itaewon’s streets reached us all in deep sadness, as the loss of young lives is always the most heartbreak­ing tragedy.

On behalf of the Hungarian people, with profound sorrow, I would like to offer my deepest condolence­s to the Korean people and their grieving families.

In this time of mourning the Hungarian people stand with the Korean nation in solidarity and friendship. We also wish for a fast recovery of all those who have been injured in this tragic event.
