Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A building collapsed in central Nairobi today while more than 200 people were inside. At least 10 people were reported to have been killed and more than 60 seriously injured people were taken to hospitals.
Dozens of rescuers dug into the rubble with their bare hands while the injured were loaded into any available car to be taken to hospitals.
An official at Kenyatta General Hospital said more than 50 people had been admitted and more were coming every minute. There was no immediate indication of a possible death toll.
The lower floors of the five-story building were filled with construction workers. Work had been under way to add additional upper floors when it collapsed, said 26-year-old Patrick Opiyo while he was digging for survivors.
