Kenya: 7 people missing after building collapses

Rescuers continued searching on Friday through the rubble of a roughly 15-storey building that collapsed in Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighbourhood. Seven people are missing, and rescue teams have made contact with some of them; Nairobi police commander Issa Mohamud said a woman’s voice had been heard beneath the debris. Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen said 11 businesses on the ground floor and basement were occupied when the building fell. Witnesses said cracks had appeared in the walls before the collapse, while workers were still carrying out finishing work.
