A total of 72 people were killed in the blaze, and an inquiry into what happened has now come to a close
His young boy - whose name he wants to keep private - died as a result of the fire. He was five years old at the time.'He wants to draw his brother and bring him back to life'"He used to run up to me… and give me a hug.""My younger son, who was three at the time, finds it really difficult," says Mr Tekle.
He told Sky News:"My hope is that the recommendations that come out of the public inquiry are fully implemented, and that if necessary, there is some sort of oversight mechanism, whether it's a select committee or some other type of body, to ensure recommendations are carried through and acted upon.""There were previous fires before Grenfell," he said."There was a fire in Knowsley Heights. There was a fire in Lakanal House.
He added:"It's five-and-a-half years after the tragedy. We need to ensure that we have meaningful change, and that we're not standing here in five years time again, after another terrible fire."Barrister for the bereaved and survivors Imran Khan KC says that race and unconscious bias is at the heart of what happened to Grenfell Tower.
"So the questions that ought to be asked is how is it, that the tower had that number of minority ethnic individuals, how was it that they were placed in there, how was it that they were treated during the course of the fire, and how were they treated afterwards.
