Prime Minister Theresa May vowed in the statement to do everything possible for everyone affected:

"My government will continue to do absolutely everything possible to help all of those affected through the difficult days, weeks, months and years ahead."

The statement from Downing Street went on to sum up other aid being made available:

The Prime Minister has confirmed details of how the emergency Grenfell Tower Residents' Discretionary Fund, worth £5m, will be distributed:

• The £500 cash payment has already begun to be made available to those affected and further payments are available immediately from the Council at the Westway Centre or from Monday through the Post Office in Portobello Road, as and when families need it
• The £5,000 payment will be available from Monday and support workers will assist households in accessing it - including those who do not have bank accounts

Residents who met Prime Minister May in Downing Street after the fire have accused Grenfell Tower's estate managers - the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation - of being "invisible in the aftermath of the tragedy".

The group, made up of victims, residents, community leaders and volunteers, told the Press Association they were grateful to Mrs May for listening to their concerns but demanded "real action and immediate results".

"In our meeting at Downing Street, we explained to the Prime Minister the anger of all residents towards the management of the estate over a long period of time, paving the way to this tragedy," the group said in its statement.

"With the exception of very few junior officers, the estate managers have been invisible in the aftermath of the tragedy."

Rev Dr Alan Everett from St Clement's Church, who helped with relief efforts in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, told BBC Radio 4 that local authorities should do more to build relationships with local communities.

He added: "The lesson to be learnt from here is that when local authorities have major incident plans that they really need to involve people on the ground.

"You can have a plan in place, which operates at a high level, but you need to reach out to the people on the ground.

"They really need to start building those relationships, I think they need to rehearse their plans more thoroughly, but I think there needs to be a much more positive and open approach to the people who are there day in day out and have all the local connections."

Waqas Ahmad has been coordinating volunteer work on Facebook.

The demands change rapidly but in the course of today he has:
