A five-story building is reported to have collapsed on Tuesday 13th August 2024 at Joshua, behind Mission School in Wellington, marking the third such incident in the past week. Fortunately, there have been no reports of casualties so far.

This follows the collapse of a four-story building in Congo Town, which left several people trapped under the rubble.

The recent string of collapses highlights the severe impact of the heavy rainfall and flooding that have affected Sierra Leone in recent weeks.

The continuous downpour has caused widespread flooding and significant damage across the country, exacerbating the vulnerabilities of existing structures.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse and assessing the damage. Residents are advised to remain cautious and report any structural concerns to local officials to prevent further incidents.
