LONDON: Angry residents heckled Prime Minister Theresa May and stormed the local authority headquarters on Friday (Saturday in Manila) as they demanded justice for the victims of a London tower block fire that left 30 people dead, with dozens more unaccounted for. Dozens of police officers held back booing crowds and broke up scuffles as her car drove off from local church, where she had met survivors, residents and volunteers and promised new funds for those affected. May has announced a judge-led inquiry into what happened, and on Friday promised a £5 million ($6.4 million, 5.7 million euro) fund for emergency supplies, food and clothing. Police have said recovery process could take weeks, and warned some of the bodies may be too burned to be identified. The area surrounding the tower has been plastered by desperate relatives with pictures of the missing, from grandparents to young children.
