President Donald Trump on Sunday approved a "Major Disaster Declaration" for the deadly floods in Texas Hill Country, he announced on Truth Social. The declaration comes as rescue and recovery operations enter a third day following the devastating floods.

At least 68 deaths—including the deaths of 21 children—have now been confirmed in the central Texas flash floods, according to the latest update from officials, though dozens of children from a summer camp remain unaccounted for as blame swirls over preparedness and whether residents were properly alerted.
