The tragedy, which claimed seven lives, has left the residents devastated with some seeking psychological support.

Firefighters from Nairobi County are currently on the site battling the fire.

In the village, some residents are gathering old sheets to shield themselves from the rain, using them to build makeshift shelters.

Residents noted that the financial aid, equivalent to the average monthly rent in the area, would be crucial in helping families restart their lives.

Metrine Muhonje’s husband and three children were peacefully sleeping inside, unaware of the horror about to unfold.

Among the victims was a man and his two children who perished in the fire.
