Parents have been waiting anxiously to find out if their missing children are still alive after a boarding school in central Kenya caught fire.
Seventeen pupils were confirmed dead on Friday morning, while 70 children were still missing.
It is thought some of these children may have run into the local community to escape the fire, or were picked up by their parents without the school knowing.
The blaze took place at midnight at a boys' dormitory with 150 pupils and the cause is currently unknown.
According to the police the average age of the victims was about nine years old.
