More than 100 people have died and 170 are missing in the Texas floods.

The death toll from severe flooding in central Texas has increased to at least 110 people, with another 170 missing. This was reported on July 9 by CBS News with reference to the governor of the state Greg Abbott.

"At least 110 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 170 are missing," the TV channel quoted the governor as saying.

According to Abbott, 161 people are missing in Kerr County alone, while at least 10 people are missing in other counties of the state.

It is noted that Abbott also received a text message from the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It spoke about the intentions of the Ministry of Health and Human Services to declare an emergency due to floods in Texas.

The governor of the state emphasized that such a decision would allow medical workers and mental health professionals from other states to provide assistance to victims both through trips to the area and through telemedicine.
