7 confirmed dead in 6-storey building collapse in Kenya

Police in Nairobi say that seven people have been confirmed dead in the collapse of a residential building in a low-income area of the capital.


Search and rescue efforts were continuing at the scene Saturday morning.

Kenyan officials say the six-story building collapsed Friday under heavy rain and flooding, trapping an unknown number of people in the rubble.

The Kenya Red Cross said a search team managed to pull three children and an adult from the remains of the building in the Huruma area.
