Kenya Flooding: At Least 10 Dead In Building Collapse by Nobody: 1:57pm On Apr 30, 2016
Rescuers in the Kenyan capital Nairobi are searching for people feared trapped after the collapse of a residential building in heavy rain.
At least 10 people are known to have died, and 121 people rescued, including a baby on Saturday morning.

The Red Cross criticised "chaotic scenes" as rescuers arrived. It is unclear how many people are trapped.

There are conflicting reports as to whether the building had six or seven storeys.

The rainfall has caused landslides, washed away houses and flooded roads. Police said 14 people died in the Nairobi rains, including those in the collapse. Another four died when a wall toppled over.
