FAMILY SAY NADIA IS ‘ THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW’

THE person waving a makeshift flag from the upper floors of Grenfell Tower, pictured left, has been named by relatives as mother-of-three Nadia Choucair.

The haunting photograph of the figure in the window desperately trying to attract attention became a disturbing early image of the tragedy.

The 29-year-old worked at Avondale Park Primary School in nearby Notting Hill.

Mrs Choucair and her husband Bassem, 38, were identified by relatives as the couple at the 22nd floor window, silhouetted against a backdrop of flames.

The image came to epitomise the suffering of the victims of Wednesday’s disaster and the helplessness of firefighters as the blaze engulfed the building.

The couple are missing and feared dead, along with four other family members, spanning a total of three generations.

Their daughters Fatima, three, Zaynab, ten, and 13-year-old Mierna, as well as Mrs Choucair’s mother Sirra, from Lebanon, are all believed to have died in the tragedy. Mrs Choucair’s sister, Sawsan Choucair, revealed she spoke to the family at about 3am. She said: ‘They were just screaming, and I was shouting, “Get out – try to find an exit or something.” ’

Another relative, Hisam Choucair, said: ‘I would like to say to the Government that I would like to see reform into all high-rise buildings in London.’
