At least 24 people have died amid torrential rains and dozens of people at an all-girls summer camp are among those still missing

Among the missing were 23 to 25 people listed as unaccounted for at an all-girls Christian summer camp located on the banks of the rain-engorged Guadalupe, 65 miles (105 km) north-west of San Antonio, authorities said.
Authorities said 237 people had been recued so far, including 167 by helicopter.
