Rescuers by Saturday had begun the grim task of recovering the bodies of children and adults who were swept away in a deadly flash flood in Texas, caused by a powerful storm that killed dozens of people.

At an evening briefing, local officials said that 43 people had been confirmed dead, 15 of them children, with at least 27 girls from a summer camp still missing.

Earlier in the day, Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas division of emergency management, acknowledged that the odds of finding more survivors diminished as the hours passed, but Texas governor Greg Abbott said that he had instructed responders to assume that every missing person was still alive.

Dalton Rice, the Kerrville city manager, said that 27 girls from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the Guadalupe River, are still missing. He added that other people who were in the area but not at the camp could also be unaccounted for. Torrential rain caused the river to rise 26ft (8 meters) in just 45 minutes before dawn on Friday, washing away homes and vehicles.
