Kenya: Second Female Body Recovered From Eastleigh Building Collapse Rubble

What the report says

Rescue teams in Nairobi have recovered a second female body from the rubble of a collapsed multi-storey building in Eastleigh, according to Capital FM, as search-and-rescue work continued at the site. The recovery was confirmed by Kenya’s National Police Service (NPS), which said the operation remained active and that multiple agencies were still working through the debris.

The report said four people had been pulled out alive so far. The latest recovery adds to the first body, also identified as a woman, which was announced earlier by Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan. With the second recovery, the confirmed death toll in the operation is at least two, although authorities had not publicly updated the number of people still missing.

Police urged the public to stay away from the affected area so emergency crews and specialized equipment could keep clearing the wreckage. The NPS also expressed sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased and wished those injured a full recovery. Hassan has previously called for disaster teams to intensify the operation and to provide the resources needed to reach anyone still trapped.

The incident highlights the risks posed by building collapses in fast-growing urban areas and the challenges of conducting rescue work in crowded neighborhoods. That broader context is general background; the specific details above are from the published report.
