The death toll from massive flooding and a mudslide that have hit Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, rose to 180 today, a hospital source said.

Mohamed Sinneh, a morgue technician at Freetown's Connaught Hospital, told AFP that "at least" 180 bodies had been received, leaving no space to lay the dead because of the "overwhelming" number of corpses being brought to the facility.
