KiN Reports
The Kenyan Police has announced that at least 100 people have lost their lives following the Monday morning fire that threw Sinai slum in Nairobi's industrial area into a mayhem. The slum is close to a fuel depot off Lunga Lunga Road in Nairobi. Police sources say the number of the dead is likely to pass one hundred looking at the damage caused by the fire.
According to reports from the witnesses on site, the source of the fire can be linked to oil leakage from a pipeline feeding the depot belonging to Kenya Pipeline that neighbours Sinai slums. Residents of the slum detected the leakage and went in huge numbers to tap the fuel that later turned lethal after a reported huge blast.
Kenya's paramilitary General Service Unit (GSU) are on site and have cordoned the area around the slum. Many of the victims of the morning fire have been feried in ambulances to Mater Hospital (South B) and Kenyatta National Hospital.
