Smoke billows from a fire that engulfed the 24-storey Grenfell Tower in west London
AHMED ELGWAHRY, who lost his mother and sister in the Grenfell fire, heard them fall silent on the phone before they died, he told the inquiry into the disaster today.
Mr Elgwahry described waiting helplessly at the bottom of the high-rise tower while speaking on the phone to his sister Mariem. She and their mother Eslah had taken refuge on the top floor.
On the sixth day of public commemorations of the fire’s victims, he recalled hearing them lose the ability to breathe.
