In the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, an 18-storey building under construction collapsed on October 23, with potential victims trapped beneath the rubble. Emergency services responded immediately, with rescuers beginning to search for survivors in the debris.
The incident occurred in the Eastleigh area. Police had to deploy tear gas to disperse crowds gathered at the site of the collapse, as eyewitnesses reportedly obstructed the passage of rescue equipment and emergency crews.
