Aftermath of Nairobi's Flash Floods
When Anthony Mwangi and his team found a baby girl buried under the rubble, they could barely believe she had survived three days in a collapsed building.
The baby’s home came down around her when flash floods struck the outskirts of Kenya’s capital Nairobi. She was found in a basin, perhaps put there by her mother while she attended to domestic work. It might just have saved her life.
Later identified as Delarine Saisi Wasike, the six-month-old had a lucky escape from the Huruma Estate disaster in April this year. At least 134 others were injured and 12, including the baby’s mother, were killed.
