At least five girls were killed and several missing after devastating flash floods swept through a Texas summer camp on the Fourth of July.

Eleven young girls have vanished from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, and five of their fellow campers tragically lost their lives after powerful waters ravaged the all-girls private Christian summer camp.

The total number of deaths has now reached 67, with 21 of those being children, following a dramatic flood of the Guadalupe River, which surged to 30 feet beyond its usual levels on Friday.

The cherished camp director, Richard ‘Dick’ Eastland, aged 70, perished while attempting to rescue the girls amid a month’s worth of rainfall that occurred in mere minutes.

One week before the tragedy, the camp shared videos on social media of the campers happily prancing around on stage during their first term chorus and dance production.

The youngest campers slept on low-laying ‘flats’ inside the camp’s cabins, whereas older girls slept in cabins on higher ground, according to the NYT. 

Most of the missing girls are from the younger age bracket, who were sleeping just yards away from the banks of the Guadalupe River.   

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that some 750 girls had been staying at the camp when the floodwaters hit.

Here is what we know about all of the girls who died in the flood.

On Sunday, Donald Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Texas amid a swirl of criticism of his administration for making major cuts to federal funding, impacting agencies like FEMA which lead the response to natural disasters.

‘I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

‘These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing.

‘The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders.

‘Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State.

‘Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!’
