Rescue workers in Kenya are trying to reach members of a family believed to be trapped after a six-storey building under construction fell on to their home at dawn on Thursday.
The building came down in the Ruaka area of Kiambu county, which neighbours the capital, Nairobi, according to St John Ambulance Kenya.
The family was sleeping in their house when the neighbouring building collapsed, it added.
The incident comes two days after another multi-storey building under construction collapsed in Kasarani, less than 15km (9.5 miles) away, killing at least three people.
