The baby was dehydrated but there was no sign of physical injuries
The six-month-old baby girl has been rescued from the debris of a building that collapsed four days ago in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
According to BBC, the Kenyan Red Cross revealed that the baby, identified as Dealeryn Saisi Wasike, had been reunited with her father.
She has no physical injuries.
The six-storey residence came down in heavy rain, killing at least 23 people.
Dozens of others are still thought to be buried under the rubble, but hopes of finding more alive are fading.
The building had been earmarked for demolition. Its owner was due to appear in court on Tuesday charged with manslaughter.
Samuel Karanja Kamau was arrested on Monday. Officials say he did not have permission to rent out the building's 119 rooms.
Mr Kamau has not yet commented on the allegation.
About 135 people have been freed so far from the collapsed building, local media report. Another 93 have been reported missing.
The Kenya Red Cross said the baby girl was found in the rubble at 04:00 local time (01:00 GMT), in a bucket wrapped in a blanket.
She appeared dehydrated, but had no visible injuries, it added. She was rushed to hospital for treatment.
