The fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower in Kensington, West London, which was a residential highrise built in 1974 with 120 homes.
So far there have been twelve confirmed deaths, but the Fire Service have suggested that number is likely to rise further, and it is unlikely any more survivors will be recovered from the building.
68 patients have been taken to six hospitals across London, with 18 people in critical care, telegraph reported.
