Mohammed Alhajali escaped the war in Syria to come to the UK in 2014

Syrian refugee Mohammed Alhajali, believed to have been 23, came to the UK in 2014 and was studying civil engineering while living in North Kensington.

Syria Solidarity Campaign said: "[He] undertook a dangerous journey to flee war and death in Syria, only to meet it here in the UK, in his own home."

He had been in a flat on the 14th floor with his brother Omar but the pair lost each other in their attempt to leave the building.

Mohammed then returned to the flat and tried to call family members in Syria but could not get connected to them, so spoke on the phone to a friend in the country for two hours while he waited to be rescued.

The brothers had been due to join the Syria Solidarity Campaign on Saturday to take part in The Great Get Together, celebrating the life of murdered MP Jo Cox and marking Refugee Week.
