 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.

 Hundreds of thousands left homeless by West Africa floods - charity


Severe flooding in West Africa has displaced nearly 950,000 people and disrupted children's education at the start of the school year, international charity Save the Children said Friday, AFP reported.


"Hundreds of thousands of children now displaced from their homes are facing disease, hunger from crop destruction, and disruption to their education, as schools have become crowded with fleeing families or damaged in the floods," the NGO said.


Save the Children said around 950,000 people had been displaced -- 649,184 in Niger, 225,000 in Nigeria and 73,778 in Mali.


Niger's government says more than 700,000 people have been left homeless and 273 people died since the rainy season started in June.


Rising waters


Neighbouring Nigeria has meanwhile seen 29 of its 36 states - mostly in the north - hit by rising waters of the River Niger and its major Benue tributary with the country listing 200 deaths, Save the Children said.


"According to Nigerian government data, over 115,265 hectares of farmland have also been damaged, in a country with already high rates of food insecurity," the NGO said.


The agency said one in every six children across Nigeria "faced hunger in June-August this year - a 25 percent increase on the same period last year."


In Mali, whose government declared a state national disaster, more than half of those displaced are children, the NGO revealed.


Climate change


Save the Children said climate change was seeing cases of extreme weather and its consequences grow ever more serious and frequent, with Africa suffering disproportionally.


"These countries are already ravaged by conflict and insecurity, making it even harder to respond, said Vishna Shah-Little, regional advocacy, media and communications director for the agency in Western and Central Africa.
