国际英语资讯:Feature: Anger mount among lethal tower blaze survivors as British PM orders public inquiry

The flats are administered by Kensington and Chelsea Tenants Management Organization (KCTMO), on behalf of the local municipal authority, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC).

The tower block had been refurbished in a program that concluded last year and cost about 10 million pounds (about 1.28 million U.S. dollars).

DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS

Kitchens were being used to prepare free food for former residents of the tower block and for helpers, and outside under the piers of an urban motorway, many other volunteers were working hard.

They were unloading minivans loaded with donations of food, water, clothes, and basic household items, including clothes and wipes.

Bags of clothes were piled two meters high, and stacks of cartons of bottled water were everywhere.

A man who only gave his name as Mitchell told Xinhua he travelled 20 kilometers from southern London district of Chiselhurst to see how he could help.

"I came here with some donations. We can be strong if we stay together. Especially after the terrorist attack last month, everyone should stay strong," said Mitchell.

"Hopefully this can continue and everyone can help each other out and to recover from this bad incident," he said.

Mitchell said that he brought baby wipes and food. "Anything that I thought could help out these young families," he said.

By midday the volunteers warned they were no longer accepting any donations because they had far more than they were able to cope with. What they wanted now was boxes.
