8-year-old Mariam died in her village on Tuesday after a collapsing wall fell on her and her brother; her brother only sustained injuries.
"I was at home after coming from a funeral when I was told by a neighbour that a wall had fallen on the childrend and when I went there I found the girl dead; her brother was injured," said Bakari, the victims' uncle. The children's parents were not at home when a local hotel's wall gave way due to extensive rain fall.
On the same day, another child was also killed by a collapsed house in Mombasa.
