KenyaA six-storey building collapsed in Kenya’s capital late on Friday, killing at least three people, KTN television reported.

Live footage showed rescuers bringing out two survivors through packed crowds of emergency crews and onlookers in the Huruma residential area in northeast Nairobi.

Three children and one adult were taken to the city’s Kenyatta National Hospital, Reuters quoted Kenya Red Cross as saying on its Twitter feed.

People from about 150 households were taking shelter in a nearby village, the aid group said, amid what it called “chaotic scenes”.

The Daily Nation newspaper reported that scores more were feared trapped.

Authorities did not immediately release details on casualties.
