Egypt expressed its sincere condolences to the families of the victims of floods in Indonesia, according to a Tuesday statement by the foreign ministry.
The Egyptian statement also wished for the speedy recovery of those injured.
It also highlighted Egypt's solidarity with the government and people of Indonesia in this crisis.
On Monday, floods and landslides triggered by tropical cyclone Seroja in a cluster of islands in southeast Indonesia and East Timor have killed 97 people, with many still unaccounted for and thousands displaced, officials said on Monday.
At least 70 deaths were reported in several islands in Indonesia's West and East Nusa Tenggara provinces, while 70 others were missing after the cyclone brought flash floods, landslides, and strong winds amid heavy rain over the weekend, disaster agency BNPB said.
In East Timor, which shares the Timor island with Indonesia, at least 27 people were killed by landslides, flash floods, and a falling tree, while 7,000 displaced, its government said.
On Lembata island, authorities feared bodies had been washed away.
"We are using rubber boats to find bodies at sea. In several villages, flash floods hit while people were sleeping," Thomas Ola Langoday, deputy head of Lembata district government, told Reuters by phone.
About 30,000 people have been impacted by floods in Indonesia, some already taking shelter in evacuation centers, but rescue operations have been made difficult after five bridges collapsed and falling trees blocked some roads, BNPB spokesman Raditya Jati said.
A continuing storm had also halted evacuations in some places, local authorities said.
Hundreds of houses and other facilities such as a solar power plant were damaged, BNPB said. Ships and motorboats sank as the cyclone set off waves as high as 6 meters.
Powerful currents continued to flow through villages in the Malaka district on Timor island on Monday, even though the rain had stopped.
