NAIROBI: At least one man died, while seven people were still missing by Wednesday evening after a six-storey building they were living in collapsed in Kaloleni, Nairobi.

Eight others were rescued alive from the rubble of the collapsed building hours after it caved in. Rescuers said they were in communication with at least five people who were trapped but warned it might take long to clear the debris.
