Four rescued, several feared trapped after building collapses in South B

The rescue team has so far pulled out four people from the rubble after clearing two floors of the building. 

According to Makadara Police Commander Judith Nyongesa, an unknown number of people were scavenging for scrap metals in the building, which was demolished three days ago, and could be trapped beneath the rubble.

Nyongesa, who is leading a multi-agency rescue operation that includes the Kenya Defence Force, the Red Cross, and the Nairobi County Government, says the operation will last until late at night as bulldozers comb through the rubble to reach those who are believed to be trapped.

The incident occurred less than a week after another building scheduled for demolition collapsed in the Kiamaiko area while a group of youths were scavenging for scrap metal.
