B-roll of volunteers providing psychosocial support to people affected by the mudslide and floods, in group and one-on-one discussions.

Locations: Dwazark and Old Skool (yes, spelled properly), Freetown, Sierra Leone

Overnight 14 August 2017, after several days of torrential rainfall, devastating floods and mudslides occurred in and around Sierra Leone's capital city, Freetown. The most affected areas are in the eastern part of Racecourse, and in the outskirts of Regent and Lumley areas.

The deadly mudslides wiped out several communities in Regent destroying more than 1,200 homes. More than 500 people are confirmed dead.

Survivors have crowded into schools, partially constructed buildings, mosques, churches and other temporary shelter. More than 1,900 families require urgent humanitarian assistance. With heavy rains continuing through September, conditions may grow worse before they become better.

The Sierra Leone Red Cross Society, in close collaboration with the IFRC and other Movement partners, has been at the forefront of the response with 100 volunteers carrying out search and rescue operations, providing first aid to survivors, distributing emergency supplies and comforting the bereaved through psychosocial (PSS) support.

PSS activities include one-on-one and group discussions with survivors and those affected, as well as psycho-educational games and play time with children, and discussions with responding Red Cross volunteers to ensure their mental wellbeing is also being attended to.

In the first month of operations, PSS volunteers have reached approximately 5,000 people.

An Emergency Appeal of 4.6 million Swiss francs has been launched to help 4,800 people in the aftermath of the disaster and to support their long-term recovery needs.
