A helpline has been set up for families affected by the Tunisian gun attack which left 38 people dead.

Trudy Jones, 51, from Blackwood, was among those killed when a man opened fire on tourists on a beach outside a hotel in Sousse on Friday.

Health Minister Mark Drakeford said: "It is our duty to make sure we are ready to offer any assistance we can."

The Wales Tunisian Support Line is open 24 hours a day on freephone 0800 107 0900 or by texting 'help' to 81066.

People needing more specialist trauma support will be directed to the most appropriate services.

The so-called Islamic State has said it was responsible for the attack.
