Several people have died after a huge fire raged through the night at a west London tower block, a fire chief says.
Firefighters are still tackling the blaze at Grenfell Tower in north Kensington, where eyewitnesses said people were trapped inside, screaming for help.
More than 50 people are being treated in hospital, says London Ambulance.
The BBC's Andy Moore said the whole 24-storey block had been alight and there were fears the building might collapse.
Eyewitnesses said they saw lights - thought to be mobile phones or torches - flashing at the top of the block of flats, and trapped residents coming to their windows - some holding children from windows.
The Met Police has set up an emergency number on 0800 0961 233 for anyone concerned about friends or family.
