London’s Grenfell Tower, which was engulfed in flames more than seven years ago in a disaster that killed 72 people, will be demolished, bereaved families and survivors said on Thursday.

Survivors and bereaved families’ groups said Britain’s deputy prime minister had told them that the site of the 2017 catastrophe would be dismantled.

The Grenfell tragedy, which killed 72 people, shocked the nation, laying bare deep inequalities in one of the wealthiest boroughs of the British capital.
