A seven-year-old girl tragically perished in a fire that swept through the Korogocho slums in Nairobi, leaving numerous structures destroyed and families displaced, according to police reports.
The fire erupted on February 14 around 9 pm in the Gitathuro area.
Residents and a fire engine rushed to the scene, managing to contain the blaze.
It was amidst the aftermath that the charred remains of the young girl were discovered.
The cause of the fire remains undetermined at this time.
The victim's body was transported to the morgue for autopsy and further investigation.
Authorities have launched an inquiry into the incident.
Sadly, such occurrences are all too frequent in informal settlements, where inadequate infrastructure often hampers swift access for rescue services.
