> Rescuers are searching for seven people believed trapped beneath a building that collapsed while under construction in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area. Of 67 construction workers inside, 66 escaped unharmed and one suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Concerns that diggers could reduce air supplies led responders to stop using them, while the collapse renewed questions about construction standards and oversight.
