 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.

 India reported an increase of 276 active COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, taking the total to 4,302, according to data from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

 In the past 24 hours, seven deaths were recorded — four in Maharashtra, and one each in Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat — bringing the total fatalities in the recent surge to 44.


In response, the central government has launched a nationwide COVID-19 mock drill today (June 5) to assess hospital preparedness. The drill will evaluate key areas like oxygen supply systems, isolation wards, ventilators, and availability of essential medicines, aiming to ensure that states are fully equipped in case of a further spike in infections.


This proactive step comes after high-level review meetings led by DGHS Dr. Sunita Sharma, and follows a smaller drill held on June 2 focusing on medical oxygen infrastructure. Health facilities have been directed to ensure all systems, including PSA plants and LMO tanks, are fully operational and ready.


States like Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi continue to report the highest number of cases. With the Indian Meteorological Department forecasting thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in several regions, authorities are on high alert to manage both pandemic and weather-related disruptions.
