There have been 57 students that have been taken to hospital for treatment, and we can also confirm that there have been seven fatalities,” said Cyrus Oguna, Kenya’s government spokesman.

According to local reports, a wall caved in at the two-story property around 6:50 am local time, just as children were preparing to start classes at the primary school.
