Texas Floods Claim 78 Lives as Search Continues
A catastrophic flood in Texas has left 78 people dead, with many of the victims from Camp Mystic, a Christian youth camp. The disaster, which has prompted US President Donald Trump to declare a major disaster, has intensified search efforts for missing individuals. The affected area has been under heavy rainfall for several days, leading to the formation of large floods that have submerged entire communities.
Local authorities are working alongside federal agencies to locate the missing and provide relief to those affected.
