The search for over two dozen children missing from a girls' summer camp hit by flash floods in Texas entered a third day on Sunday as rescuers faced the threat of more flooding and the death toll in the region reached at least 43.

Hundreds of parents waited hours Saturday for girls to arrive in Kerrville after their Camp Waldemar stay was cut short by the deadly Guadalupe River flood.
