After Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that impacted the southeastern U.S., hundreds of people went missing, including children. In North Carolina alone, at least 600 individuals were reported missing. The search efforts have been intense, involving over 50 teams going door-to-door to check on the status of those unaccounted for. Some children were among the missing, but recent reports indicate that many of these cases have been resolved as rescue and recovery efforts continue​
While the exact number of children who have been located from the initial list of missing people is unclear, the overall situation remains grave, with North Carolina’s death toll rising and many people still unaccounted for. The search for survivors is ongoing, and officials expect to find more individuals as recovery operations progress.
