London 17 Jun (ANA) - Protests were held in London as residents demanded support for those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. Between 50 and 60 people stormed Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall as members of the public said the homeless needed help "right now". Crowds gathered outside a hall where PM Theresa May met survivors and protests were also held at Downing Street. Mrs May sanctioned £5m for clothes, food and emergency supplies, as the death toll rose to at least 30. The BBC understands those missing could number about 70, with the 30 likely to be among that number. Three of those who died have been identified. There was nothing to suggest the fire was started deliberately, police said. Hundreds of mourners stood arm in arm at a vigil and held a two-minute silence for victims of the fire. Many wept openly as candles illuminated the road outside the Latymer Christian Centre, yards from the site of the blaze. The fire broke out shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday. It tore through all floors of the building and took more than 200 firefighters 24 hours to bring it under control. Mahad Egal, who escaped his fourth floor flat with his family, said: "At first it seemed it was controllable, but really quickly the fire started to rise as the cladding caught fire. It is incredible we survived." Emergency services spent a third day searching for bodies in the burnt-out Grenfell Tower in North Kensington.(ANA)
