Four people have been referred to Kenyatta National Hospital Wednesday morning after a five-storey building they were in collapsed trapping several other people in Nairobi's Makongeni estate.

The four were among seven people rescued from the building in an ongoing operation that begun shortly after the residential property collapsed at 3am.

The cause of the collapse is yet unknown although construction work on a sixth floor had begun on the building. Nairobi county's director of communications Walter Mong'are confirmed the incident and said the National Youth Service is among groups conducting the rescue operation.
