Kenya al-Shabab attack: Who are the victims?

Kenyans have taken to the streets and to social media to express their grief at the death of 148 people in the al-Shabab attack on Garissa University College in north-eastern Kenya.

The hashtag #147notjustanumber - referring to the initial death toll - has been posted more than 60,000 times on Twitter since Saturday.

Although an official list of victims has not yet been released, families and friends of those killed have been posting their names and pictures online. Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper also features photos of some of the victims on Tuesday's front page.

Kenyan activist Ory Okolloh started the online campaign to make sure all the victims are remembered, tweeting to her followers: "#147notjustanumber. We will name them one by one."

Students

The interior minster said 142 of those who died were studying at the college that opened in 2013 - it is part of Moi University, which is based in the Rift Valley town of Eldoret.

• John Mwangi Maina:

Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper reports that the business management student in his twenties was killed after going back to try and rescue his girlfriend.

Reuters journalist Edith Honan has been reporting from the Chiromo mortuary in Nairobi, where victims' families have had to identify their bodies. She has been naming the victims and posting tributes to them from the information families have given her:

A document has also been posted online to keep track of all the victims of the Garissa attack, as well as other major previous attacks in Kenya. The aim of the resource, according to the authors, is "to ensure we never forget the names of victims of internal and external acts of mass violence".

Security personnel
