Grenfell Tower Fire in London

RNA - Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi offered the Islamic Republic of Iran’s deep sorrow over the Grenfell Tower fire incident in London.

 

Qassemi voiced regret over the fire incident in London Grenfell Tower block, and sympathized with the families of the victims of the incident.

 

The death toll from the devastating tower block fire in west London is expected to rise as investigators trawl through the wreckage in the search for other victims.

 

At least 12 people have died after the huge fire destroyed Grenfell Tower in north Kensington, where flames could still be seen burning more than a day on from the disaster.

 

Prime Minister Theresa May has promised a "proper investigation" after the building went up in flames early on Wednesday morning amid growing concerns about how the fire could have spread so rapidly.

 

Witnesses described hearing screams for help from people trapped on the upper floors of the block as flames engulfed the building, which contains 120 flats thought to be home to between 400 and 600 people.
