A woman and her three children were among six people who were killed when a perimeter wall collapsed on their makeshift house in Mombasa’s Vipingo area following heavy rains.

Sorrowful relatives recounted the horrifying accident as the county government sent out an alert, asking residents of Kalaheri, Aldina, Mburukenge, and Bangladesh to move to higher ground.
