A multi-storey building under construction has collapsed in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Nearly 100 people may be trapped beneath the rubble. Belta.by reported the incident, citing Arab News.

The collapse occurred in Eastleigh, a densely populated district of Nairobi known for its business premises and residential buildings.

Search and rescue operations are currently underway at the site. The building’s location between two tall structures is making it difficult for rescuers to access the rubble.

According to local police, one person has been rescued so far. Efforts to locate and assist people who may be trapped beneath the debris are continuing.

Further information about the cause of the collapse and the number of casualties has not yet been released.
