Three people were injured in a fire at a girls’ secondary school in Kenya, authorities said, just a day after more than 20 people died in a blaze at a boys’ primary school.
“Isiolo Girls on fire, several students reportedly trapped inside,” state-run Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) wrote on X on Sunday (8).
The Kenya Red Cross said on X that the situation at Isiolo Girls High School in Isiolo County had been contained and that there were three non-serious injuries.
The fire comes a day after a deadly blaze at Hillside Endarasha Academy in Nyeri County. Authorities said Saturday (7) that the fire at the boys’ dormitory killed at least 21 people.
Nineteen bodies were recovered from the scene and two other people died after being taken to hospital, government spokesman Isaac Mwaura said.
The elementary school dormitory housed 156 boys.
Mwaura expressed his condolences on behalf of the government to the loved ones of the victims.
