Texas Floods: Death Toll Hits 109, 161 People Missing

Search and rescue operations are ongoing in the US state of Texas after the devastating flood on July 4. According to the latest data, the death toll has reached 109, and in Kerr County, 161 people are considered missing.

US President Donald Trump has declared Kerr County a natural disaster zone.

Local authorities have accused the National Weather Service of issuing incorrect warnings about the impending disaster, linking it to budget cuts made as part of the austerity policy initiated by the Trump administration. Trump, in turn, has blamed Biden.
