A multi-storey building under construction collapsed in Nairobi’s Eastleigh district on Friday 23 October, leaving a vast heap of concrete rubble and twisted debris. The Kenya Red Cross said the structure came down at about 1:40 pm local time along Yusuf Haji Avenue and dispatched emergency response teams to assist search-and-rescue efforts.
Footage from the Kenyan capital showed the scale of the destruction, with large sections of the unfinished structure reduced to piles of broken concrete. An excavator was deployed among the wreckage while Red Cross personnel worked at the site, urging the public to stay clear so rescuers could operate safely.
