At least 600 people still missing in Sierra Leone following deadly mudslide
At least 600 people are still missing
following a mudslide and flooding that devastated parts of Sierra Leone's
capital, Freetown.
President Ernest Bai Koroma earlier pleaded
for "urgent support", saying entire communities had been wiped out
with nearly 400 people confirmed dead after the mudslide in the Regent
area and floods elsewhere.
The Red Cross has warned it is a race against
time to find survivors. A mass burial of victims has also been planned to
free up space in mortuaries.
