Three dead, 11 injured after a wall collapsed in riverside

Three individuals have lost their lives and eleven others have been injured after a wall collapsed in the Riverside area of Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday morning. The incident occurred at a property undergoing excavation, with Emergency response teams from the Kenya Red Cross swiftly deploying to the scene.

This tragedy has reignited concerns over construction safety and the enforcement of building regulations in Nairobi, following a similar incident just the day prior where an eight-storey building under construction collapsed in Machakos County.
