Kenya Red Cross volunteers and homicide detectives retrieve bodies of students after a deadly dormitory fire at Utumishi Girls High School in Gilgil, Nakuru County. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard]
Four days after the Utumishi Girls Academy fire tragedy, parents came face to face with the full reality and impact of the incident as they viewed the charred remains of their loved ones.
Some who could not bear the pain fainted, and others were left tongue-tied as the doors of the mortuary were opened for the families to view the remains of the 16 who perished.
The reality of the pain that the minors went through before dying was evident in their relatives' faces as Red Cross staff moved in to offer support and counseling.
