Thousands of people have reportedly been left homeless after fire swept through a Kenyan slum on Sunday evening, killing at least four.

Residents used sewage water in a desperate attempt to douse the flames which had engulfed their homes in the Lang’ata area of the capital, Nairobi.

The Member of Parliament for the area, Nixon Korir, said fire engines which turned up to help did not have enough water.

According to BBC News, Police have begun an investigation into the blaze, which began at 8:00pm on Sunday and continued for 10 hours.

It is feared, as they comb through the wreckage of the homes, more bodies may be found.
