Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AT least 50 people including children have been killed in the Texas floods, and 27 young girls still missing from their summer camp. Rescuers are still scouring the devastated landscape in central Texas, but hopes of finding survivors are dwindling.

Larry Leitha, Kerr County sheriff, said: "We have recovered 43 deceased individuals in Kerr County. "Among these who are deceased we have 28 adults and 15 children." Multiple people lost their lives in other counties, bringing the current confirmed death toll to 50 - though this is sadly expected to rise. The most desperate search is for a group of school-age girls who went missing from Camp Mystic - a Christian summer camp near the river. On Saturday, Sheriff Leitha said 27 of the children were still missing. A spokesperson said that the parents of missing children had been notified - and many have since turned to social media to share desperate pleas for information about their girls. Local reports suggest that up to five girls have been confirmed as dead, citing their families. Camp Mystic's owner and director Dick Eastland is amongst those confirmed to have died. Texas Department of Emergency Management chief Nim Kidd said air, ground and water-based crews were scouring the length of the Guadalupe River for survivors and the bodies of the dead. "We will continue the search until all those who are missing are found," he said. Woman, 22, swept 20 MILES by Texas floods & left clinging to tree in rescue... but 25 children still missing from camp Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he was expanding a state disaster declaration and was requesting additional federal resources from President Donald Trump. Out of the misery have come some extraordinary stories of survival. A 22-year-old woman was miraculously rescued from a tree after being swept 20 miles downstream by ferocious floodwaters. 'Miracle' survival: Rescued 20 miles downstream By Patrick Harrington, foreign news reporter A YOUNG woman was miraculously rescued after being swept 20 miles downriver in the Texas floods. The 22-year-old was scooped up by fast-moving water from her campsite in Kerr County, Texas by deadly flash floods at 4am, and found clinging to a tree four hours later. A third of a year's worth of rain fell in a few hours in the area, creating an "extraordinary disaster", with an enormous search-and-rescue mission still underway. A Center Point resident, Carl, heard screaming when he stepped into his yard at around 8am on Friday morning. He spotted the woman clinging to a huge Cyprus tree near Lion's Park Dam as the river thundered beneath her. She had for been holding on for several hours after a terrifying 20-mile journey down dams and dodging debris. Emergency calls weren't connecting, so the local resident desperately flagged down a police car for help. Two rescue boats were scrambled and battled perilous currents to rescue the stranded camper. By this time, the water level had receded considerably, so the woman was stranded 12ft above the water's surface. She was forced to drop into the rescue boat, and was finally brought to safety.

Four major European holiday hotspots that are becoming unbearably hot for Brits
Brits heading to a cluster of popular European destinations have been issued a stark health warning, as a powerful 'heat dome' sweeps the continent - resulting in sizzling temperatures exceeding 40C UK holidaymakers are ignoring red alert heatwave warnings - as parts of Europe continues to sizzle out of control. While Brits may be desperate to top up their non-existent tan, temperatures across the Mediterranean have climbed to dangerous levels - exceeding a whopping 40C in select hotspots. Last month, a record-breaking temperature of 46C was set on one Saturday afternoon in El Granado, Spain - while France issued heat warnings in 84 of its 96 mainland departments. Italy has also been impacted by what experts are referring to as a 'heat dome', causing temperatures to reach a stifling 38C in the bustling city of Rome. This is the same heat that swept across Portugal's capital, Lisbon, last week - and has even made its way over to the UK. In Barcelona, reports recently emerged that a woman died after spending a gruelling shift outside, cleaning the streets of the Spanish city. The shocking news follows data that found around 2,168 people have died from causes attributable to the heat in Spain alone this year. As a result, experts have urged Brits to exercise caution when travelling to the following hotspots this summer: Spain Portugal France Italy Speaking to the Telegraph, Dr Stephen Wood of Northeastern University in the US, warned that tourists are particularly 'vulnerable' to heat stroke and similar related illnesses due to several factors. "Travel often involves a lot of walking and sightseeing, frequently in the hottest parts of the day, without sufficient hydration or rest," he explained. "They may also wear clothing that isn't ideal for the climate or skip sun protection altogether. Plus, tourists might not recognise the early signs of heat illness, or they may ignore them in the excitement of exploring a new place." In contrast, locals who grew up in the Mediterranean have acclimatised to the heat much better. Many residents have been 'shutting themselves away in dark houses' during the intense sunny spells, rather than queuing outside for hours to enter museums and other attractions. Despite the warning, it seems Brits remain undeterred - with thousands of holidays being booked in July as part of last-minute deals. According to On the Beach, in the past 48 hours (from July 1) bookings to Europe increased by a staggering 23 per cent - and there was a whopping 47 per cent increase in bookings leaving within seven days after the booking was made. If you're travelling to the Mediterranean during the ongoing heatwave, it is advised you remain in the shade between 11am and 3pm, when the sun is at its hottest. "Wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter," advises the NHS. "Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep."
