Search for Kenyan Workers Trapped In 22-Storey Building Collapse

Search and rescue teams are racing against time to locate workers trapped after the collapse of a 22-story building in Nairobi. While the exact number of people missing remains unclear, the incident occurred just hours after another building collapse in Kericho County in the South Rift region, which claimed one life.

The cause of both collapses is not yet known. The disasters, however, have raised questions regarding the enforcement of building regulations in the country's rapidly growing urban centers.
