国际英语资讯:Death toll rises to 12 in Londons towering inferno

Local media reported that residents had complained to council officials about the work.

In the early hours of Wednesday fire broke out around the fourth floor of the building, and within minutes the tower was engulfed.

It led to scenes of sheer terror, as some occupants, a number of them in flames, leaped to certain death to escape the scorching flames.

Others were seen and heard trapped in their apartments, screaming for help.

May ordered a meeting of the Civil Contingencies Secretariat to co-ordinate a response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

She said in her statement: "Once the recovery is complete an investigation will take place. It's impossible to comprehend the horror of what people have been going through," describing the blaze as an appalling tragedy.

Even as the rescue and recovery operation continued a debate was under way about the safety of high rise apartment blocks.

It is too early to say whether cladding added to the exterior of the block to make it look modern was a factor in the rapid spread of the fire.

London MP Andy Slaughter described the Grenfell Tower fire as a national tragedy on a huge scale.

He said an investigation is needed to establish if there are problems with the construction of refurbishment of tower blocks.

"There are so many questions to be asked, and there will be so much fear and uncertainty among people who are living in similar blocks," he said.
