Rescue teams in Nairobi have recovered two more survivors from the rubble of a collapsed building in Eastleigh, bringing the total number of people rescued to four. The survivors were extracted more than 24 hours after the incident, which occurred on Tuesday. Emergency personnel continue to search for additional people trapped in the debris.
The building, located in the Eastleigh area of Nairobi, collapsed under unclear circumstances. Local media reported that the structure was under construction when the incident occurred. Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact cause of the collapse. The rescued individuals were taken to Kenyatta National Hospital for medical evaluation.
The governor of Nairobi, Johnson Sakaja, has confirmed the identity of the family responsible for the building and has identified the developer associated with the project. This follows ongoing investigations into the incident. The developer’s name has been disclosed as part of the inquiry.
The collapse has raised concerns about building safety and regulatory oversight in the area. Local officials have called for a thorough review of construction standards and safety protocols. No official casualty figures have been released, but the incident has prompted increased scrutiny of urban development practices in Nairobi.
