A collapsed classroom killed seven children and injured a further 57 in Kenyaโ€™s capital Nairobi early on Monday morning, a government spokesman said.

โ€œThere have been 57 students that have been taken to hospital for treatment, and we can also confirm that there have been seven fatalities,โ€ said Cyrus Oguna, Kenyaโ€™s government spokesman.

Local television showed pictures red cross workers sifting through the wreckage at Precious Talent school, and carrying white bodybags into an ambulance.
