'I had to listen to them die' says brother who stayed on phone as sister and mother died

On the sixth day of commemoration hearings, Ahmed Elgwahry told the inquiry how he remained in touch with his 27-year-old sister, Mariem, and his mother, Eslah, as the fire engulfed the high-rise flats. With his voice occasionally overcome by emotion, Ahmed recalled how he had spent the evening before the fire with Mariem, until she returned to her home in Grenfell where she suffocated along with their mother, trapped by flames and smoke on the top floors of the building.
