One body has been recovered from a collapsed Nairobi building after a weeklong search, US News reports. The incident occurred in the city's central business district.

Officials are still searching for 16 people missing following the collapse on Monday, according to news.az. The building's structural integrity is under investigation.

The incident has prompted renewed calls for stricter building codes and enforcement in Nairobi, as residents express concern over safety standards. Kenya's Ministry of Housing noted the need for urgent review of urban planning regulations.

No immediate aviation impact was reported from recent flights at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, though the collapse occurred near the city center.
