Many people may be trapped in the debris of a building that collapsed today as it was being demolished in the Mathare district of the Kenyan capital, the Kenyan Red Cross said. Mathare, in the eastern part of Nairobi, is home to hundreds of thousands of people and is one of the city's largest informal settlements where planning rules are poorly enforced. “There are fears that many people may be trapped under the rubble. Our rescue team has been dispatched,” the Red Cross said in a post on social media X. Dozens of people have died and thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes in the Mathare slum due to flooding this month caused by overflow of the river of the same name that flows through it, after torrential rains.
