A fire broke out at Toi Market in Nairobi on Sunday morning, destroying hundreds of stalls and leaving thousands of traders in ruins.<\/p>\n
The fire, which is believed to have started at around 1am, quickly spread through the market due to the narrow paths and congested stalls.<\/p>\n
Nairobi County Fire Brigade responded to the scene, but their efforts were hampered by the limited access.<\/p>\n
By the time the fire was extinguished, it had destroyed an estimated 3,000 stalls.<\/p>\n
The traders, who are mostly women, are now counting their losses. They have lost everything, including their goods, stock, and livelihoods.<\/p>\n
The fire is a major blow to the traders, who rely on the market to make a living.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.<\/p>\n
The traders are now appealing for help from the government and well-wishers to rebuild their businesses.<\/p>\n
They are also calling for the government to improve access to the market to prevent future fires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
