Kentucky Flood Death Toll Reaches 21 Amid Political Division Over Aid
Last week’s severe weather in Kentucky resulted in 21 deaths, with victims succumbing to hypothermia and flooding, including at least one child. The state has received a federal disaster declaration and is seeking further aid for the hundreds of impacted families. With around 660 residents still without power and over 100 roads closed, recovery efforts continue, although warmer weather is predicted this week. Governor Beshear established a relief fund to assist those affected, prioritizing funeral expenses.
