Wild and devastating floods have struck central Texas, leading to heartbreaking losses with at least 82 lives claimed. Emergency teams are working around the clock amid ongoing search and rescue operations.
CMG reporter Liu Xu visited Camp Mystic—a 99-year-old summer camp by the Guadalupe River—where dozens of girls were reported missing. Volunteer rescuer Alvi Santos expressed serious concerns over the lack of essential equipment needed to clear rubble and save lives. The shortage is hampering efforts in this critical moment.
For our tech-savvy and socially aware readers across South and Southeast Asia, natural disasters like these remind us that preparedness and solidarity are universal. Even in our fast-paced, digital age, basic rescue tools can make all the difference. Stay informed and compassionate, and let’s hope that increased support and resources help turn the tide. 🙏🚀
