now on bbc news, five years after the deadly fire at grenfell tower, katie razzall hears from those who lived on the 21st floor about their fight for justice. and a warning, this programme contains strong language and images of the grenfell tower fire, which some viewers may find upsetting. what would you say to the person that you were before grenfell now, five years on? imiss you. i would say, i miss you. in the early hours ofjune ilith, 2017, a fridge caught fire in a flat at grenfell tower, west london. they need to ring 999! there is a dedicatedl line for this incident! it should have been containable.

where's the fire brigade?! jesus! _ instead, five years on, it continues to devastate lives. i've heard from people, you know, "it's five years, get over it." it doesn't work that way. i will never get over what happened. five years, for somebody who hasn't gone through it, may seem like a long time. for me, it seems like it was only yesterday. we've been filming with marcio gomes since soon after he and his family escaped from the 21st floor of grenfell tower. there's not one day that i don't think about grenfell. the depression�*s taken a big hold of my life. ahead of the anniversary, survivors, grenfell residents, people involved in the rescue that night and those who lost loved ones

are holding a memorialfootball day at queens park rangers in west london, close to the tower. coming together with everybody that survived the tower, the families, actually has a positive impact. you don't have to talk about grenfell because everybody sort of knows what happened. all right — one, two, look at the camera. just a smile, it warms you. cheers, mate. come on, boys! 72 people lost their lives as a result of the fire. the youngest was marcio's unborn son, logan. his mother, andreia, breathed in so much smoke and toxic gas that night, though she survived, he was stillborn in hospital nine weeks before his due date. i had his name on my shirt. that to me was just a way to... ..to say that i'm playing... "i'm doing this for you."

there's a reason why we're doing this, and let's keep that in mind. that's all i've got to say. let's keep that in mind. i you're wearing the number on the front — 72 souls. we are still in pain. emotionally, we are still suffering. it hasn't got easier. it's in fact got harder. hanan wahabi and herfamily also survived the fire, fleeing in their pyjamas as smoke filled the staircase. i have flashbacks, i have nightmares, i still struggle with sleep, i struggle with falling asleep. when i do fall asleep, i'm woken up by nightmares. hanan was a teacher in a school near grenfell tower, but she gave it up last year. it was too much for both her and her pupils, even four years on. it's not fair on the children to be exposed to the impact of ptsd. you know, they'd see me collapse at work. they'd see that happen. hanan lived on the ninth floor of grenfell tower. her brother and his family lived much higher up, on the 21st.

soon after the fire, we pieced together the story of that floor. in flat 182 lived hanan�*s brother, abdulaziz el—wahabi, his wife faouzia, their children yasin, nur huda and mehdi. next door, in flat 183, were marcio gomes, andreia, who was heavily pregnant, and their two daughters. nine people survived from the 21st floor that night. six perished, including all five of hanan�*s loved ones. sometimes you just... you feel the pain and you kind ofjust hold it. you know sometimes if you cut your finger with a knife, you just hold it. it'sjust like that — it's there. you can feel the throbbing, but you're just literally holding it. and then sometimes you just can't hold it and it'sjust gushing. i struggled a lot. i feel guilty that we made it out and the rest of my family didn't. grenfell tower still stands five years on, a reminder of that awful

night casting its shadow across west london and wider. for five years, we've heard the personal stories of what happened to its residents as we've learned about how companies and regulators failed to protect them. we first met marcio and andreia in the hotel room they were moved to after the fire. andreia and their daughters had spent days in induced comas in hospital. it was there logan was stillborn. the pain of losing him wasjust as heavy five years on. he wasn't even able to take a breath. it's still difficult to deal with. i go to his grave. we speak a lot. it sounds weird, but we do. i have his picture there, - which is something that i look at. i look at it every day. yeah, he's... he's always going to be part of our life, so... i

in this community, finding closure is linked to getting justice. but what happened at grenfell is still being investigated all these years on. there have been no charges, nobody yet held accountable. the police have said they won't pass any evidence to prosecutors until the grenfell tower inquiry has finished its work. set up by the government soon after the fire, it's already been going forfour years. after it opened in 2018, marcio gave gruelling evidence as the inquiry examined what happened on the night of the fire. hello. we're calling from the grenfell tower, yes. what flat are you in? 185 _ res? — we've tried to get out... we've tried to get out but we can't. what floor are you on? floor 21. marcio told the inquiry he'd called 999 several times that night. "stay put and wait to be rescued", they were told,

until the flames reached the flat. the inquiry heard that marcio's family fled their flat, 183, at around 3:30am, heading into the dark smoke—filled stairwell. in flat 182, hanan�*s relatives have been told by the london fire brigade to move into the bedroom and put wet towels around the door. i know that you have the 999 call, recordings and transcripts. they were given false hope by the lfb operators. they may well have survived if they didn't listen to the stay— put advice. there's a memorial garden to hanan�*s family in a primary school near the tower. the inquiry says if the fire brigade had told people to get out much earlier, instead of sticking to its stay—put advice, more lives would have been saved.

in a refurbishment in the years before the fire, cladding was added to grenfell tower. it transpired it was highly flammable and on the night, it tookjust 18 minutes for the flames to reach the top of the building. the inquiry�*s been investigating the actions that led to this by local and central government, by the refurbishment companies, by the manufacturers of the cladding. it was almost like a perfect storm. everyone was just allowing it to get through and it feels like it was profit ahead of lives. the mistakes, the lies... ..have been exposed. you can see... ..why grenfell happened. ever since the fire, the local community has marched regularly alongside survivors and the bereaved to remember the victims and demand change, because many hundreds of other buildings are still covered in dangerous cladding even now. forfive years, a battle has been fought over who will pay to make them safe.

people are still living in dangerousl materials around them and another grenfell can happen. are you waiting for another grenfell to happen so then you can- do something about it? grenfell happened because of decisions by so many — by the companies who represented their products as safe on tall blocks, though they lacked valid tests, by the refurbishment contractors accused of cost—cutting and a disregard for human life, by the regulators that failed to make proper checks, and by the politicians, who didn't tighten the rules despite warnings. but, as the inquiry is finding, few accept any real responsibility for their part in it. each individual needs to be held accountable for what they have done, the same way any other person would be held accountable for their criminal doings. one night of horror — five years of suffering. and the personal toll

of what happened at grenfell is still playing out in mental and physical health problems for those caught up in it, in profound grief and in the breakdown of relationships that seemed strong before the fire. you can imagine that four individuals — husband, wife, myself, my husband at the time, six—year—old son and eight—year—old daughter, all placed in one room, all struggling with grief, all trying to deal with... ..what had happened. it was toxic. the environment was toxic. yeah, we separated a few months after. i'm divorced now. it was a constant reminder, looking at each other. you know, my ex—wife used to say, "we remind each other of what happened — from a negative perspective." four years on... ..we had to call it a day, really. we tried, but itjust got to a point where we just couldn't any more.
