Desastres · Desabamento em EastleighQuatro resgatados após desabamento em Nairóbi, mas ocupantes de lojas continuam sem ser contabilizadosEscrito 26 de outubro de 2026 às 02:57 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:07Rescuers have pulled four people alive from a collapsed high, rise in Nairobi.0:11Shops were operating beneath the unfinished building, and families still don't have0:15a settled count of who's missing.0:17The unresolved task is accounting for everyone who was in those shops.0:20Police put the rescue total at four by Sunday, the third day of the response.0:25That updates Saturday's account of one survivor and a later account of two.0:28The four includes earlier rescues.0:30The building came down at the nine street site in Eastley, a densely populated0:34business and residential area.0:36The site is also described along Yusuf Haji Avenue, near day-to-day supermarket.0:40Those descriptions refer to the same emergency.0:43The floors pancaked into a mound of concrete and steel along a busy commercial0:47street.0:47Crews worked toward the lower floors and basement.0:49Residents described calls for help from loved ones beneath the debris, followed by0:53phones becoming unreachable.0:55Heavy equipment was scarce at first.0:57One excavator later arrived and began shifting rubble.1:00Responders subsequently stopped using diggers over concerns that excavation could1:03restrict air reaching people below.1:05One account described trapped people saying the machinery was affecting their air1:09supply.1:13Teams also used sniffer dogs and thermal sensors.1:15The response brought together the Kenya Red Cross, Kenya Defense Forces, Nairobi1:20County Emergency Teams, and National Youth Service.1:22Police fired tear gas at people looting neighboring shops, adding another1:25complication as emergency teams tried to clear access.1:29The Red Cross missing, person figures range from thirty, one reports to twenty one.1:33Both figures describe reports still being checked.1:36They don't tell rescuers how many people are beneath the concrete, and the1:39difference between those registers hasn't been explained.1:41Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Mercoman had said seven people were reported1:45missing on Friday.1:46That figure kept circulating through Saturday.1:48Authorities said rescuers had contacted some people beneath the rubble, with concern1:52focused on people associated with eleven occupied ground, floor, and basement shops.1:57The Red Cross separately said twenty-six previously missing people had been traced.2:01Their names haven't been matched publicly to the other registers.2:04Some workers may have left before the collapse.2:06These figures can't be added or subtracted into a current missing total.2:09Mercoman said all sixty, seven construction workers were accounted for.2:14He said sixty, six escaped unharmed, and one was hospitalized in stable condition,2:18with injuries that weren't life threatening.2:20His accounting covered the workforce, leaving shopkeepers, customers, and passers-by2:25to be accounted for separately.2:26A shorter description that only sixty, six workers were accounted for conflicts with2:30that fuller breakdown.2:31Merkelman's tally included the injured worker, and tracing someone can mean finding2:35them safely elsewhere.2:37So the twenty-six traced people can't be counted as rebel rescues.2:40The Red Cross initially said two injured people were taken to Kenyatta National2:44Hospital.2:44A man rescued on Saturday, more than twenty, four hours after the collapse also went2:48to hospital.2:49The patients haven't been publicly matched across those accounts.2:52Earlier rescue descriptions included a woman, a man, and a pair of survivors.2:56Their identities and rescue times haven't been reconciled, so adding those3:00descriptions would risk counting someone twice.3:02The police total of four is the latest cumulative figure.3:05The building's height has been described as twelve stories, eighteen stories, or3:09possibly sixteen or eighteen.3:10Police described more than ten stories under construction.3:13Authorities haven't settled the actual floor count.3:16The collapse happened on Friday afternoon, October twenty-three, two thousand and3:19twenty-six.3:20The Red Cross time carried in early accounts was about one forty.3:24Other accounts placed it around one.3:26The precise time remains approximate.3:28Governor Johnson Sakai said the county approved a change of use for the property,3:32but he said the application for a fifteen-story building plus basement hadn't been3:36approved.3:36He also said the owners lacked the required occupation paperwork.3:40Sakaja later said required approvals were missing and dismissed a purported approval3:43document as fake.3:45Permission to change a property's use, approval of construction plans, and3:48permission to occupy cover different things.3:50Shops were operating on both the ground floor and in the basement, while upper3:54floors remained unfinished.3:55The National Construction Authority named Nine Street Plaza as developer and Stromax3:59Holdings as contractor.4:00It identified Emmanuel Mwanghi Mina as architect and Joseph Muturi Mugu as4:05structural engineer.4:06The authority assigned their project roles without assigning responsibility for the4:09collapse.4:10The authorities said the project was registered in July2025 .4:13Acting Executive Director Susan Ruddo signed the statement.4:16Project registration alone doesn't show that county construction and occupancy4:20requirements were met.4:21Investigators still have to determine what physically caused the building to fail.4:25Police commander Issa Mohamed said the owner and anyone who authorized construction4:29could face charges if investigators found criminal negligence.4:32Government spokesperson Charles Oweno separately said the registered owner and4:35another party were already in custody and charged.4:37Police haven't clarified who was in custody after the collapse or which charges had4:41been filed.4:42Separately, Sakaija challenged the handling of fourteen suspects linked to the4:45building.4:46He said they were arrested in June, then released on fifty-zero Kenyan shillings4:50bail without charges.4:51Sakaija's complaint doesn't settle the legal position after this collapse.4:55The year of those June arrests and their connection to the current investigation4:58remain unclear.4:59Nobody has been shown to bear criminal responsibility for the building's failure.5:03Kenya recorded eighty-six building collapses between two thousand and nine and two5:07thousand and nineteen, with an estimated two hundred deaths.5:10Those historical national figures show the longer safety problem.5:13They don't explain what brought down this building or describe casualties in5:16Eastleigh.5:17The minister's accounting covers the construction workforce.5:20People who were in the shops and surrounding street still have no reconciled public5:24accounting.5:25Authorities haven't confirmed a death toll.5:27Search teams were still working on Sunday.Ler o artigoCronologia da históriaHeyDexO vídeo curto ↗Quem noticiou o quêPontos noticiados por mais de um veículo✓Building collapse in Nairobi's
