At least 27 people, including nine children, have been confirmed dead following devastating flash floods in Kerr County, Texas. The disaster struck with little warning, sweeping through communities and leaving widespread destruction in its wake.
Among the hardest-hit areas was a Christian summer camp situated along the banks of the Guadalupe River. Authorities say 27 girls who were attending the camp remain unaccounted for, prompting an urgent search-and-rescue operation.
In response to the tragedy, U.S. President Donald Trump has assured the public that his administration is coordinating closely with local and state officials.
He confirmed that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is en route to Texas to assess the situation and support ongoing relief efforts.
