A number of people have been reported missing following the Grenfell Tower fire.

Artist Khadija Saye, 24, who is showing her artwork in the Venice Biennale, was in her flat on the 20th floor, with her mother Mary Mendy, who is thought to be in her 50s.

Jessica Urbano, 12, is still missing following the fire at the block.

Ana Ospina posted an image of the young girl, said to be about 5ft tall, on Facebook, saying: “Please continue to share the photo of my niece who has not yet found her.” Mariem Elgwahry, pictured right. Emma Evans shared an appeal to find her long-time friend, who lived on the 19th floor of the tower block and was said to be missing with her mother.

Council records show Nadia and Malak Choucair were living in flat 193.

Nadia, 33, worked as a nursery officer at the Avondale Park primary school.

Family members appealed for information about Saber Neda, whose birth name was Mohammed.

According to records, Neda lived in flat 205 in the building with his family.

He is understood to have stayed behind because he had been injured. His wife, Shakila, 45, and son, Farhad, 24, reportedly fled the blaze.

Ali Yawar Jafari, 82, is thought to be among those missing.

His son, Hamid Ali Jafari, said his father had lost contact with his mother and sister, who lived with him in Grenfell Tower, on the 10th floor.

The younger Mr Jafari told the Press Association he had been to several rescue centres throughout the day since first reporting his father missing on Twitter just before 8am.

Asked if he had any news since then, he said: “No.”
