The disaster, which occurred last week along Muhoho Avenue, has left the community reeling, and authorities are determined to bring closure.
Emergency teams from the Nairobi County Government, the Disaster Management Unit, and the Kenya Red Cross have been working non-stop since the collapse, with police securing the scene to allow for uninterrupted efforts.
While progress has been made, the mission to locate the final missing individual remains a race against time.
On Sunday afternoon, a breakthrough came when Red Cross personnel recovered the body of one of the victims, confirming the tragic loss of life.
The recovery happened at approximately 2:00 pm, after hours of painstakingly clearing a path through the debris.
Despite this, the search for the remaining person continues with renewed urgency.
“Rescue efforts are ongoing, and we will not stop until we know that everyone is accounted for,” said a representative from the Disaster Management Unit.
As teams dig through the rubble with specialized tools, emotions are high as families and friends of the missing wait anxiously for any news.
Authorities have assured the public that investigations into the cause of the collapse are underway, with both national and county agencies working in close coordination to piece together what led to the tragedy.
The cause of the collapse is still under investigation, and it’s hoped that a detailed report will shed light on the factors that led to this catastrophic event.
As the search enters its fourth day, the residents of South C and all of Nairobi hold their breath, hoping for a safe recovery and seeking answers in the aftermath of the collapse.
