Rescue operations in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s vibrant commercial capital, have now entered their third day as teams work tirelessly amidst the rubble of a collapsed building that has tragically claimed the lives of at least a dozen individuals. The harrowing scene is marked by the sad faces of rescuers and anxious family members, many of whom had reported losing contact with their loved ones who were inside when the disaster struck.

Despite the challenges posed by the unstable debris and the ongoing rainy season, which often exacerbates such tragedies in East Africa, the dedicated rescue teams continue their relentless search for survivors. “During my visit to the site, I witnessed their unwavering determination; I urged them to keep the rescue efforts going non-stop, day and night, fueled by the hope of reuniting families and bringing everyone to safety”. Remarkably, more than 80 individuals have already been pulled from the wreckage of the four-story building, which was once home to a lively array of shops bustling with traders and customers.

In light of this devastating incident, Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu has mandated a thorough audit of all buildings in the Dar es Salaam area, renowned for its dynamic trading scene. She has also called upon law enforcement to retrieve ownership and construction permits linked to the collapsed structure, underscoring the need for accountability and safety in the booming city.

As the rain falls, the scene remains charged with urgency and determination. It reflects the everyday reality of building collapses in East Africa during this season—a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the region.
