Munira Mahmud and her family escaped the Grenfell Tower fire, but she lost her best friend that night.
Until the night of 14th June 2017, Munira Mahmud lived on the fifth floor of Grenfell Tower with her family. Her best friend, Rania, lived on the 22nd.
Munira’s best friend Rania and her young daughters were among the victims. The best friends had walked their children to school together the morning of the fire. ‘The week of the anniversary is particularly hard. I’ve just met up with one of the survivors who lost their dad in the fire and they told me their mum has been crying for the past six years. The pain doesn’t go away. When the anniversary comes around people ask if you’re any better, but it doesn’t work like that.’Munira and her family moved into a hotel, where they ended up staying for 19 months.
