More than 100 families were forced to sleep in the cold on Wednesday night after a fire in Nairobi's Kibra estate.
Traders and homeowners bore the biggest brunt of the incident after the fire spread to their units, leaving them counting losses.
Residents have reported that efforts to extinguish the fire were hampered by narrow roads, which prevented fire engines from accessing the scene.
Public Service CS Geoffrey Ruku also visited the scene in the company of local leaders, including the area MP Peter Orero, who promised to release emergency aid to support them.
