The death toll from the building collapse in Eastleigh, Nairobi, has risen to eight after rescue teams retrieved six additional bodies from the rubble as the search for missing persons continued.
The latest recovery brings the total number of fatalities to eight, with emergency response teams still working through the debris in an effort to locate people believed to have been trapped when the building collapsed.
According to Ochieng, rescuers are still searching for five missing people, with efforts ongoing to establish their whereabouts.
