Rescue efforts continued for a third day Monday after a building collapsed and killed at least 13 people in Tanzania’s commercial capital, with the government saying it will push on until all those trapped inside are saved.

Rescue operations in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, entered their third day as efforts continued to recover individuals from a collapsed building. The tragedy, which occurred Saturday, has claimed at least 13 lives.

For Tanzania, the Kariakoo collapse is more than a tragedy; it is a wake-up call. The financial losses, conservatively estimated at over 20bn/- when combining direct and indirect impacts, reveal the high cost of inaction thus underscoring the urgency to rebuild stronger and safer, as the cost of inaction is far too high.
