NAIROBI, Kenya — A female body has been recovered from the rubble of a building collapse in Kenya’s capital as search and rescue work has been called off, an official said Sunday. Joseph Gichangi, the area police chief, said receipts showed two couples checking into the guest house but leaving before the collapse. Building collapses have become common in Nairobi, where 4 million people live in low-income areas or slums. In 2016, a building collapse in another low-income area killed 37 people and injured 70. The rescue work took days, and a baby and a pregnant woman were among those pulled to safety.
