 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

Lt. Baljafla's Journey to Becoming Dubai Police's First Vet

Lieutenant Mariam Abdullah Baljafla is the first veterinary officer within Dubai Police. Her expertise lies in the healthcare and rehabilitation of police dogs, essential for their routine duties in event security and other police operations, including narcotics detection, explosives handling, and tracking. 

Baljafla's journey with Dubai Police began in 2021 following her graduation from the United Arab Emirates University's veterinary program in 2020. She currently serves in the K9 Inspection Department, a sub-department of the General Department of Organisation Protective Security and Emergency.

Reflecting on her experience, she states, "Since the outset of my role in the K9 Clinic's monitoring section, I've been immensely supported by my colleagues, aiding in my professional development and pursuit of my ambitions and interests. Gradually, I've become deeply involved in the dogs' direct care and medical treatment."

She explains her responsibilities: "My tasks involve conducting morning or evening rounds to monitor the police dogs' overall health, ensuring they are consistently prepared for their roles. This includes performing specific health checks to verify their well-being, free from diseases and injuries, managing lab and blood tests, administering vaccines, and other vital medical services that directly impact their operational readiness."

Baljafla further remarks, "Working with Dubai Police has allowed me to realise my aspiration in veterinary practice, along with providing opportunities to partake in various field events. My role contributes alongside other teams within Dubai Police towards enhancing security and public happiness, including major events like the New Year's Eve celebrations, the COP28 conference, and Expo 2020, among others."

She credits her specialisation in veterinary science to her childhood affection for animals, nurtured by her family's diverse interest in animal care. This early passion guided her decision to pursue veterinary studies, strongly supported by her family amidst some societal astonishment. She notes, "My family, including my parents and siblings, were extremely proud of my choice to study veterinary medicine, helping me fulfil my childhood dream. Their encouragement continues to this day."

Emulating her father's footsteps, who served and retired from the Dubai Police, Lieutenant Baljafla joined the force. Through her role, she aims to achieve significant milestones and serve as an inspiration for Emirati women, demonstrating their capability and innovation in various professional domains.
