At least 30 people have died, 12 people remain in critical care, and about 50 still missing after a huge fire engulfed a west London tower block in the early hours of Wednesday.

40 fire engines and more than 200 firefighters went to tackle the blaze.

The cladding installed on the tower in a recent renovation has come under scrutiny, with experts saying a more fire resistant type could have been used.
