Meron Mekonnen ignored stay put advice and escaped Grenfell tower with her partner and two young daughters. She had been told to get out by her aunt, Hiwot Dagnachew, who fled from the 5th floor. They describe making phone calls to a friend still trapped in the tower.

Maher Khoudair also gave evidence. He told the inquiry how he walked down the stairs from his ninth floor flat on crutches.
