Survivors claim council knowingly housed people with disabilities on some of tower’s highest floors
Disabled survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire and relatives of disabled victims have claimed the council landlord knew about their conditions but failed to provide them with fire evacuation plans and still housed some on the building’s highest floors.
Hisam Choucair, whose mother Sirria used a stick and was among six of his family members to die in the June 2017 disaster, told the public inquiry he was “shocked that there does not appear to have been any consideration of my mother’s needs” when it housed her on the 22nd floor.
