The UK government confirmed plans to demolish London’s Grenfell Tower, where 72 people died in a 2017 fire. The process, expected to take two years, will begin after the disaster’s eighth anniversary on June 14. Authorities cited safety concerns, saying the building’s condition is deteriorating. Victims' families remain divided—some call the decision “disgraceful,” while others acknowledge safety risks. A public inquiry blamed the tragedy on “systematic dishonesty” by building firms and regulatory failures. Survivors also criticize delays in fire safety reforms and prosecutions. The site remains a painful yet sacred space for many.
