A desperate rescue effort is underway in Kerr County, Texas, after flash floods devastated the region, leaving at least 24 people dead and several young girls missing from a private Christian summer camp. Camp Mystic, located along the Guadalupe River, has become the focus of intense search operations after it was swept by floodwaters brought on by unprecedented rainfall over the July 4 weekend.
Authorities have mobilised over 1,000 emergency responders, 14 helicopters, boats, and drones to locate survivors. So far, 237 individuals have been rescued, many of them airlifted from rooftops and trees. Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed that search and rescue operations will continue around the clock until all missing persons are accounted for.
