April 24 (Reuters) - Camp Mystic, the Christian summer camp for girls where 27 people died, opens new tab in a ‌2025 flash flood, cannot be licensed to reopen, Texas authorities said, citing nearly two dozen deficiencies in the riverfront camp's emergency preparedness plan.
An 11-page notice from the state Health and Human Services Department gives the camp 45 ​days to submit a new emergency plan to resolve the shortcomings the agency identified, ​including flaws in the camp's evacuation and flood-warning measures.
A department spokesperson said on ⁠Friday the emergency deficiency letter, part of the state's licensing application review process, was sent ​to camp leaders on Thursday as the camp sought to reopen this summer with enhanced safety precautions
The camp ​said in a statement that it was "carefully reviewing" the notice, the Texas Tribune reported. Representatives for the camp did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
The letter labeled 22 components in the camp's emergency ​flood plan as "insufficient," "missing" or "incomplete," meaning they will "require attention to meet full compliance."
Among the flaws cited in ​the notice, the department said the camp failed to provide adequate evacuation route maps or enumerate what actions ‌staff members ⁠were responsible for taking in the event of an evacuation.
The plan should include clearly defined procedures for assisting individuals with access and functional needs, such as assigning specific staff to provide assistance, establishing a buddy system, ensuring accessible evacuation routes, accommodating assistive devices, addressing transportation needs, and ensuring ​emergency warnings are accessible," the ​department wrote in ⁠its letter.
The camp, the department said, also lacks a plan identifying specific staff responsible for monitoring and maintaining the facility's weather-alert radio system.
Lara Anton, a ​department spokesperson, said most of the 174 youth camps statewide had received ​similar notices ⁠as a result of tougher emergency safety regulations instituted in the aftermath of the 2025 floods.
Twenty-seven campers and staff members at Camp Mystic perished after heavy downpours in Texas Hill Country transformed the Guadalupe ⁠River ​into a killer torrent on July 4, 2025.
Widespread flash flooding ​that struck the region that morning and in the following days killed nearly 140 people in the sixth-deadliest freshwater flood ​disaster in the United States.

#XAUT #TrumpNFT #VEMP #StrategyBTCPurchase #KelpDAOFacesAttack $Tether Gold (XAUt) is a digital asset designed to represent ownership of physical gold. Each XAUt token is backed by one fine troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold stored in secure vaults in Switzerland.

​

​Current Price: Approximately $4,785.85 USD.

​Market Position: It is a gold-backed stablecoin that allows you to own, trade, and store gold digitally without the logistical challenges of holding physical bullion.

​How it works: Because it is tokenized, you can transfer it across blockchains (like Ethereum) just like other cryptocurrencies, and it is divisible into fractions as small as 0.000001 fine troy ounces.

​Recent Market Context

​Performance: XAUt has experienced recent volatility, trading in a range between roughly $4,730 and $4,865. While it saw a significant all-time high of over $5,600 earlier this year (January 2026), it remains a popular choice for those looking for a hedge against inflation or market volatility, acting as a "safe-haven" asset within the crypto ecosystem.

​Risk Note: While it is backed by physical gold, the price is directly tied to the international spot price of gold. As with any digital asset, you should consider market risks and the reliability of the custodian holding the physical gold.

Sanaa, Yemen – At 7am, Qasim, 14, rises and begins his daily struggle. He leaves his family’s rented apartment, carrying a white sack about one metre long and half a metre wide. He hopes to fill it by 11:30am.
Qasim collects plastic bottles. A sack full of these bottles can earn him up to 1,500 Yemeni riyal, about $3. Buyers gather these items to be recycled in factories
That money helps Qasim buy lunch for his six-member family. In the afternoon, he can be a child again, sometimes playing football with other children in the neighbourhood
But that’s when it’s the turn of Qasim’s brother, 12-year-old Asem, to collect bottles, which he then sells at night. That helps cover the family’s dinner costs.
To Qasim and Asem, schooling is a luxury that the family cannot afford. Instead, the priority is meeting the family’s daily living expenses
“I was studying at a government school in Sanaa. When I reached the fourth grade in 2024, I stopped going to the classroom. I wanted to help provide for my family, and my brother did the same in 2025,” Qasim tells Al Jazeera, wiping his hollow cheeks with his right hand
“Sitting in the classroom would not feed me,” Qasim says in a low voice as he gazes at his sack in a busy neighbourhood in Sanaa
For more than a decade, Yemen has been embroiled in a bloody conflict between the Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-backed government, a strife that has affected almost all population groups, including schoolchildren
Nowadays, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that 3.2 million school-aged children in Yemen are out of school, and 1.5 million displaced children are at risk of permanent school dropout.
Although fighting on the country’s front lines has largely stopped since an April 2022 ceasefire, millions of children remain deprived of access to schooling.
Years of war have altered countless parents’ attitudes towards education. Fathers no longer feel guilty seeing their children work instead of studying.
Qasim’s father, Abdu, a 48-year-old daily wage worker, admits that he does not have regrets about seeing his children outside the classroom, collecting plastic bottles every day
The real pain he feels, he says, is when he cannot meet the family’s basic needs
“Seeing a hungry child is more painful than seeing a child drop out,” says Abdu
Abdu has not left Sanaa since the war began in 2014, and he has seen how university and high school graduates have suffered
“I sometimes work on construction sites as a guard or a digger or a porter, and I find graduates doing or seeking similar jobs,” Abdu tells Al Jazeera.
He adds, “Why should I let my children spend years at school and then come to work in such jobs? They can start working now instead
During the fourth Riyadh International Humanitarian Forum last year, Yemen’s Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, Waed Badhib, said that the war had inflicted heavy losses on the national economy exceeding $250bn, and led to unemployment rates rising to 35 percent
Parents spent lots of money on their children’s education,” Abdu notes. “Today, so many of them cannot land the jobs for which they were trained. It feels like what they did was a waste of time and cash.
Widespread unemployment among graduates has led many parents to disparage the benefits of an education. But Mahmoud al-Bukari, an academic and the deputy head of the social affairs labour office in Taiz, explains that – in the long run – they could be seriously harming their children’s prospects
He knows that, for now, he can get by selling the plastic bottles he collects. His next aim is to learn a trade and make a living.
I want to be excellent in painting, carpentry, or welding,” says Qasim. “I try to learn any skill I can in this city. I will not return to the classroom.”

Vanar Chain is not just another Layer 1 blockchain — it is designed with real-world adoption in mind. While many projects focus only on DeFi, Vanar is expanding into gaming, metaverse, AI, eco solutions, and brand integrations. This multi-vertical strategy makes the ecosystem more practical and appealing for mainstream users.
One of the most interesting aspects of Vanar is its connection to gaming and entertainment industries. With products like Virtua Metaverse and the VGN games network, the project is positioning itself to attract millions of new users into Web3 in a natural way.
The ecosystem is powered by $VANRY, which acts as the core utility token for transactions, rewards, and ecosystem growth. As adoption increases, demand for $VANRY could also expand.
Bringing the next 3 billion users into Web3 is ambitious — but Vanar’s strategy shows they are building with that long-term vision in mind.
