Hundreds of people in the area near capital Freetown are still searching for lost relatives. Approximately 600 people went missing in one of Africa's worst flood disasters. Soldiers and volunteers continue the search for bodies buried in the mudslide. Aid agencies fear corpses in the mud could contaminate water sources.
