HOUSTON: President Donald Trump handed out box lunches and hugged children in a Houston emergency shelter on Saturday, as he witnessed the devastation wrought after Hurricane Harvey unleashed apocalyptic floods on America’s fourth-largest city.<\/em><\/p>\n

The sprawling Texas city was taking tentative steps back to normalcy after a week of flooding that damaged 40,000 to 50,000 homes and sent tens of thousands fleeing to emergency shelters.<\/em><\/p>\n

Harvey has been blamed for at least 42 deaths. The White House has asked Congress for US$7.85 billion for Harvey-related “response and initial recovery efforts,” calling it a “down payment” on the long-term cost of recovering from the record flooding, which is expected to be in the tens of billions.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We’re signing a lot of documents now to get money. $7.9 billion,” Trump said at the giant NRG Center exhibition space that has been turned into a shelter. “We signed it and now it’s going through a very quick, hopefully quick process.”<\/em><\/p>\n
