Sierra Leone mudslide victims still homeless

Temporary shelters were set up by the government for displaced people following the disaster in August that killed hundreds, with hundreds more still missing. Those shelters are now closed, but many families still have no closure.

Residents survey the damage from a mudslide in the mountain town of Regent, Sierra Leone, on August 14, 2017.

Hundreds of people displaced by Sierra Leone's deadly mudslide in August are still struggling to find places to live. 

The government put about 3,000 people up in temporary shelters in the aftermath of the disaster, which left hundreds dead in the capital Freetown.

Those camps were closed in November. But asTRT World's Caitlin McGee reports, that hasn't helped the families affected by the tragedy.
