Grenfell survivor: ‘Losing my brother destroyed me’

Omar Alhaj Ali lost his younger brother Mohammad in the Grenfell Tower fire. He was 23 and a civil engineering student.

The brothers came to the UK in 2014 after fleeing the war in Syria and moved to a flat on the 14th floor of the building two years later.

Omar spoke to the BBC’s UK correspondent Adina Campbell about his memories of the night.
