HUNDREDS FEARED DEAD IN SIERRA LEONE MUDSLIDES

Feeling Rebloggy
At least 200 people have been killed in a mudslide near Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, the Red Cross says. 
A hillside in the Regent area collapsed early on Monday following heavy rains, leaving many houses covered in mud. 


A BBC reporter at the scene said that many people may have been asleep when the mudslide occurred. 
Sierra Leone's Vice-President Victor Bockarie Foh said it was "likely that hundreds are lying dead". The number of casualties is expected to rise.
