Rescuers yesterday cut through a maze of twisted metals and shifted debris as they raced to save lives of more than 10 people still trapped in a 10-storery building that collapsed in Kisii town, killing seven.

Working with every available instrument, the rescuers got indications that some of those trapped are still alive.
