  "account": "Kisumu, Kenya – Eight individuals were injured when a building collapsed in Maomboleo, Kisumu County, according to the Kenya Red Cross. Emergency response teams from multiple agencies, alongside the Kenya Red Cross, were on the scene to assist the injured. Six individuals received treatment on the spot, while two others with critical injuries were transported to a hospital for further care. The Kenya Red Cross reported on Monday that all residents had been safely evacuated from the area, but the agency did not disclose the cause of the collapse or the current health status of the two hospitalized individuals, other than noting their critical condition. The multi-agency response team continues to be actively involved in the post-incident assessment. Following the initial alert issued by the Kenya Red Cross, authorities are now investigating the circumstances leading to the collapse and evaluating the safety of the affected building and nearby structures.",
