Two years on, we're still failing the victims of Grenfell 😔
Two years on from the Grenfell Tower fire, survivors and North Kensington residents say they’re still waiting for adequate mental health support.
Nabil Chouchair, 44, who lost six family members in the tragedy, has also struggled since the fire but his faith as a practising Muslim has stopped him acting on thoughts of suicide. The police were called a few days after she missed one of her therapy sessions and her body was found with a note saying, ‘the Grenfell Tower fire has affected me badly, seventeen months on I still suffer from acute anxiety. I really don’t know why it has affected me so badly but it isn’t a life worth living.’Claire Simmons, 46, who lives just a stone’s throw away from Grenfell, witnessed the disaster.
‘A friend called me just after 1am and urged me to get out. My Uncle was in Algeria at time,’ he tells us. ‘To be honest if he had have been here, I don’t think that either of us would have survived because he was disabled.’
