Scores of people are feared dead and many more were feared to have been trapped in a six-storey residential building at Huruma estate in Nairobi following heavy rains that caused havoc in Nairobi last night.

Kenya Red Cross workers who were among the first to arrive at the site, and residents who escaped said the building caved in at 9.15pm  when many residents were in their houses because of the heavy rain.
