Four people were rescued Thursday from the rubble of an apartment block that collapsed six days ago, when heavy rains hit Nairobi, causing floods and landslides in the Kenyan capital.
There were cheers and prayers from the crowd gathered at the site of the ruined six-story building as a woman lying on a stretcher was carried to a waiting ambulance.
She was hauled between thick concrete slabs and a tangle of twisted metal after being located by rescuers who gave her oxygen while they continued efforts to extract her.
Later in the day, three more people, two women and a man, were pulled from the rubble of the ruined building.
The rescues came after a baby girl was found alive on Monday, more than 80 hours after the building collapsed on Friday night.
Officials have so far confirmed a death toll of 33 from the disaster, but at least 80 more people are believed to be missing and rescuers are now trawling the river nearby for bodies. (AFP)
