The simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable, says inquiry chair Martin Moore-Bick.

Ia merupakan kehilangan nyawa terbesar dalam kebakaran di Britain sejak Perang Dunia kedua, meninggalkan trauma kepada penduduknya.

"While similar disasters in the U.S. have led to massive payouts, any compensation for Grenfell would be far lower because English laws offer less generous damages and don't allow punitive claims."

Fire checks have been carried out on some 600 high-rise buildings across England after a fire ravaged a social tower block in west London last week, killing at least 79 people.

London police said Friday that a deadly fire last week that killed at least 79 people began in a refrigerator freezer - the first official confirmation of the cause of the blaze.

A fire that engulfed a London tower block killing at least 79 people started in a Hotpoint fridge freezer and cladding on the building failed all safety tests, London police said on Friday.

An estimated 600 buildings in England have cladding similar to that used at the Grenfell Tower block where a devastating blaze killed at least 79 people.

Nicholas Holgate, chief executive of Kensington and Chelsea council, said he was forced out by Prime Minister Theresa May's government after the blaze at the 24-storey Grenfell Tower.
