Rescuers have pulled four people out of the rubble of a collapsed building in the Mathare neighbourhood of Kenya's capital on Tuesday, but more people were likely trapped, the Kenya Red Cross said. "Three out of the four rescued have been taken to a nearby health facility, while one with minor injuries was treated at the scene," the Red Cross wrote on social media platform X. The building was undergoing demolition when it collapsed, the Red Cross said. The collapsed five-story building had been partially demolished by officials a week ago, but some residents remained in their apartments, said Wanjiru Wanjiru, an activist with the Mathare Social Justice Centre, a local rights group. I think people were not leaving because the government had not given people any money to resettle anywhere," Wanjiru told Reuters by telephone.
