At least 12 people were killed Wednesday when a massive fire tore through a London apartment block in the middle of the night, with witnesses reporting terrified people had leapt from the 24-story tower.


Parents wrapped wet towels around their children as they desperately tried to escape from the Grenfell Tower, with at least one person seen waving a piece of white cloth from an upper floor as flames ravaged the building.


"I can confirm six fatalities at this time but this figure is likely to rise during what will be a complex recovery operation over a number of days," said police
