NAIROBI. — The number of missing people reported after the Westgate attack has dropped from 60 to 39, the Kenya Red Cross secretary General Abbas Gullet said yesterday. The charitable organisation said that 14 people have been found alive and discharged from various hospitals while seven are dead.
Gullet said he could not make public the names of those still missing as it is classified information but explained that information on the matter will be released when the scene of attack is completely cleared to verify if there are any human remains left under the rubble.
This however is contrary to the government’s position issued by Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku on Sunday stating that he could not ascertain if there were any hostages in the building at the time the four-day siege was declared over last Wednesday. — Daily Nation.
