Nairobi Special security teams and volunteer corps were on Monday night battling with time to rescue an unknown number of workers trapped in the rubble of a six-storey building that collapsed in Nairobi, killing unknown number of people. At least 10 people were confirmed dead. By 10.45 pm at least 75 victims, with various degrees of injuries, had been pulled out of the heap of concrete blocks and dust. The injured were admitted to various hospitals. Housing Assistant minister Joshua Toro estimated the number of those either trapped or lying dead in the ugly heap to be 200.
