London’s Grenfell Tower blaze killed 500 residents, resident tells Press TV

PRESS TV:

British media have censored the death of hundreds of people who have lost their lives in the in the Grenfell Tower fire in west London, a local resident has said.  

The more than 500 people unaccounted from Grenfell Tower fire are dead, Nadia, whose family name was not given and identifies herself on social media as DJ Ayla, told Press TV.

London Police Commander Stuart Cundy told reporters on Saturday that 58 people are feared dead in the fire.

According to reports, however, the building was home to about 600 people.

Nadia told Press TV that only 76 out of some 600 people who were living in the building where she grew up, had been accounted for and more than 500 residents were still missing.

“Where are the missing people? Where is the list of the 500, 600 people living in that building,” she asked.    

“Where is everyone,”she further asked, adding,”Little kids are asking: ‘Where are my friends?” 

She insisted that the missing residents had all died and the UK media, particularly BBC, had censored the news. 

“Everyone has died and no one is telling them,” she said, adding that, “the news can’t pick it up” referring to the alleged media blackout of the fatalities.
