One week after Hurricane Harvey hammered Texas as a Category 4 storm, millions of people across the region are battling water and food shortages- amid ongoing flooding.
An unknown number of people have been forced to flee their homes- with the death toll still rising.
A chemical plant, east of Houston, is under close watch, as fears rise that its contents could explode following earlier fires.
Emergency workers continue the grim task of searching homes, while officials warn flood water is posing a risk to life.

White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, says President Trump plans to visit Texas and Louisiana on Saturday:
