Our reporter Ayo Bello has sent these photos of scenes at the University of Sierra Leone teaching hospital, where people have been gathering to identify the bodies of their dead relatives:
Nearly 400 people are reported dead and 600 are still unaccounted for as rescue efforts continue in the capital, Freetown, following the devastating mudslide three days ago.
Our reporter Umaru Fofana, who visited the scene of the mudslide this morning, has said he was “drenched in tears” and almost overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster.
The authorities have said that mass burials will not take place today, contrary to previous reports.
