Hamid Ali Jafari, whose father died in the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London, travelled to the Spanish city of Valencia this week to support those affected by a huge blaze there and urged authorities to act to avoid similar tragedies in the future. "My life has been destroyed," said 41-year-old Jafari, part of the Grenfell Next of Kin group supporting those who lost relatives in the fire. The Grenfell fire killed 72 people and combustible cladding system retro-fitted to the tower's external walls was the main factor in the unstoppable spread of the flames.
