Six people have died in a big gas explosion in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, on Thursday.

Two more people died on Sunday while they were being treated at the Kenyatta National Hospital. The hospital is the biggest one in the country.

Fifty-two more people are getting help at various hospitals.

A big truck with gas tanks exploded just before midnight in a crowded part of the city, and it caused a lot of fires.

The officials have said that the filling facility is against the law and it has been destroyed two times before.

Kenyan police are looking for seven people who may be connected to the explosion. One of the suspects is the owner of the gas plant, Derrick Kimathi.

On Saturday, President William Ruto said that bad and dishonest government workers are responsible for letting the plant operate in a neighborhood where people live.

More update on this story soon.
