How families paid tribute to their lost loved ones
The fire raged for 60 hours from 14 to 16 June in the 24-storey block. It was Britain’s deadliest blaze in a residential building since the Second World War.
It killed 72 people, 70 at the scene and two more later in hospital, ranging in age from an unborn baby to an 84-year-old woman. Sir Martin Moore-Bick, who chaired the inquiry, said: “The simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable.”Logan’s parents managed to escape from their 21st floor flat but Logan, due on 21 August, was stillborn hours afterwards at hospital. His father Marcio Gomes told the inquiry: “He might not be here physically but he will always be here in our hearts, and will be forever.
Fatima’s aunt Sawsam said she was a “great gymnast” who “had the body for it and wanted to become a professional gymnast when she grew up” and she said “we all loved Zainab” who was alsways happy to see her when she returned from work.Hesham Rahman last made contact with his family at 3am on the night of the fire, when he said he could smell smoke in his 23rd-floor flat but told them not to worry as emergency services were coming to get him.
Mehdi’s teacher said: “One of his strongest qualities was his ability to make us laugh and smile, we knew we could rely upon him to lighten our mood and brighten our day.”Khadija Khalloufi lived on the 17th floor with her husband Sabah Abdullah. The Moroccan-born 52-year-old became separated from her husband in the crush on the stairwell as they tried to flee the fire. Her husband said: “I am not trying to make my wife an angel or something, but to them she was more than an angel.
