The pathologist working at the Freetown mortuary where the victims of the mudslide are being taken, says the tragedy has been overwhelming.

Dr. Owizz Koroma says the hospital and mortuary facilities are overstretched. The sheer scale of the disaster makes it worse than when the country was hit by the Ebola epidemic.

Rescuers continue to pull bodies from the rubble and a mass burial will have to take place to free up space in the capital's mortuaries.
