I REFER to the report “Towering inferno in London” (The Star, June 15) on a fire that swept through a high-rise apartment building in west London, killing at least 70 residents and injuring dozens more.

Our hearts go to all the victims, particularly those who were trapped and perished in the fire at Grenfell Tower (pic). To date, the actual number of victims who perished are not known as recovery efforts are still underway.
