Höghus (Grenfell Tower) London i lågor - 72 döda (2017-06-14)

Desperata människor i byggnaden har knutit samman lakan för att försöka sänka sig ner från de brinnande våningarna.

Enligt The Sun har det hörts skrik från byggnaden.

Två personer har behandlats för rökförgiftning.

Enligt BBC finns det farhågor om att byggnaden kan kollapsa.

George Clarke, the presenter of Amazing Spaces, told Radio 5 Live: "I'm getting covered in ash, that's how bad it is.

"I'm 100 metres away and I'm absolutely covered in ash.

"It's so heartbreaking, I've seen someone flashing their torches at the top level and they obviously can't get out."

The block, which is located beside Kensington Aldridge Academy school contains 120 homes. It was built in 1974.

The tower block was recently given a major £10m (A$17 million) refurbishment which took two years and was finished in May last year.

According to a media release at the time improvements included “the installation of insulated exterior cladding, new double glazed windows and a new communal heating system.

“All of this will greatly enhance the energy efficiency of the tower and help reduce residents’ living costs.”
