Kenya collapsed building has claimed 12 lives, leaving at least 134 injured

Hours after a residential building collapsed in a heap of rubble in Kenya's capital, a man emerged, triumphant, holding up a baby wrapped in a pink blanket as the crowd of rescuers and onlookers cheered.

Another man followed him, carrying a toddler who had also been pulled from the debris. Both of the children were rushed by ambulances to get medical care.

As the hours passed following Friday's collapse of the seven-story building in Nairobi, rescuers continued to hear sounds of hope:
Voices of some trapped survivors called out from beneath the debris, terrified but alive. Workers yanked chunks of concrete from where the building once stood, the cries spurring their efforts.

At least 12 people were killed, the Kenyan Red Cross said, and another 134 were injured. But others are feared trapped in the rubble of the building in Huruma, a residential area in northeast Nairobi -- the aid organization said more than 60 people have been reported missing.

The building housed about 164 one-room apartments, but it's not clear how many were occupied at the time of the collapse.
