NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 6-Rescue operations at the collapsed building in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area have been called off after 15 days, with three people still missing despite multi-agency teams completing searches of all basement sections.
The operation recovered eight bodies — six women and two men — from the debris, but authorities said they had been unable to locate the remaining three people initially reported missing.
