The death toll following the Grenfell Tower blaze stands at 30, with the number of people missing since the inferno now nearing 80.
That figure could fluctuate however, with Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy revealing that a specially set-up casualty bureau has already received 5,000 calls, 400 of which were to report missing persons.
Cundy has downplayed that number, saying it added up to more people than actually lived in the block, and points out one person was reported missing 46 times.
While some people initially reported missing have been found safe, there are fears that the authorities may not have been alerted to others owing to language barriers.
A total of 74 patients are currently being treated in six London hospitals, 20 of which are in critical care.
