18 months toddler rescued without physical injury 4 days after building collapse


An 18-month-old girl has been pulled out alive from underneath a six-storey building in Nairobi, four days after it collapsed, killing nearly two dozen people.

The toddler was found without any visible injuries, reportedly having been wrapped up and put in a bucket as the building crumbled last week.

At least 23 people have been confirmed dead after the six-storey residential block in Nairobi's poor Huruma district crumbled on Friday night.

'A child aged about one and half years rescued alive at 4am and referred to Kenyatta National Hospital,' Kenya Red Cross said on Tuesday.

The Red Cross said the little girl was found 'in a bucket wrapped in a blanket' and was dehydrated but without visible physical injuries.
