Nigeria Three Dead, 250+ Injured in Nairobi Gas Explosion; Rescue Efforts in Full Swing

In the wake of the tragic gas explosion in Nairobi's Embakasi region, the Kenyan government announces plans to provide two months' rent for survivors who lost their homes.

Government spokesman Isaac Mwaura reveals that nine single mothers and their 21 children are temporarily hosted at a nearby aviation training school. However, discontent arises among citizens, suspecting political interference, as the government grapples with revelations that the gas filling facility, where the explosion occurred, was illegal, having been denied approval thrice.

The facility's unsafe designs, coupled with reports of a leaking lorry for an hour before the explosion, add to the complex narrative. As rescue efforts and investigations continue, the Red Cross reports 271 people taken to hospitals, the Nairobi governor waives medical bills for survivors, and the first suspect, a facility guard, is arrested.

Appeals for blood donations highlight the urgent need to aid the 298 injured victims, as the nation mourns the confirmed three casualties.
