Written by Heartsong Live on 22nd August 2017
Christian and other humanitarian groups are rushing to help in what some have called the “worst ever” mudslide devastation in Sierra Leone, which has left close to 400 people dead, with another 600 missing.
“I drove around Freetown yesterday and saw several houses had disappeared, roads completely gone. On one bridge I saw two people who were already dead being pulled out of the water. In just one of the church communities we work with, 60 people have died and 300 have lost their homes. One of the churches was hit by the mudslide,” said Gaston Slanwa, Tearfund’s country representative for Sierra Leone, according to The Guardian.
