Residents who rushed to help said rescue efforts were hindered by severe water shortages and a delayed response from firefighters. They appealed to the county government to resolve the persistent water crisis to prevent future tragedies.

Confirming the incident, Limuru DCIO Peter Alenga urged parents and guardians to be extra vigilant, especially during the school holidays, to keep children safe.
