Grenfell Tower fire.

In the afternoon session of the Grenfell inquiry today we heard tributes to the family of Hashim Kedir, Nura Jemal and their children, as well as to Steve Power.

Assema Kedir Habib, Hashim’s sister, shared her reaction to hearing her nephew, Yaqub Hashim, Hashim’s youngest son, calling “I love you” to his father in the 999 call the family made after finding themselves trapped in their flat. She told how her own daughters envied how well Firdaws Hashim had mastered the English language, particularly her ability to say “tracksuit bottoms”.Yahya Hashim, the eldest son, was a grateful boy, she said. When his body was identified “I said wherever Yahya was found, the rest of his family will be.”Nura Jemal, the children’s mother, was remembered by her nieces as a woman who “did a great job of looking after her family”.Assema remembered her brother, Hashim Kedir, as having “the widest smile a person could have. “He loved his kids and his wife very much.

Whenever we discussed issues regarding family and child upbringing he always felt he hadn’t done enough,” she said. She finished her tributes with stinging criticism of how her relatives were allowed to die that night, including how helicopters circled the building filming the fire but did not save anyone. “Dying is one thing. How to die is another thing, and how you were treated after your death is the third thing. Our family members were failed on all three levels.”Steve Power was remembered by Claudia Davies, his former partner, and his daughter Sherry, who remembered his love of reggae music. “He was a white Irishman with a ponytail, but when he was DJing he used to shout things like ‘rewind!’ and ‘Jah Rastafari’.”Davies had the last word, using her moment on stage to call for Sir Martin Moore-Bick “to do right” by her, her children and others affected by the fire. “The only message I have is for Sir Martin, Theresa May and the rest of the government: basically you do right by us, and you do right for our children,” she said.

Earlier, the inquiry heard the following tributes. The “lovely, bubbly” Ligaya Moore, 78, was remembered by her friend Nenita Bunggay as her “mother, sister, everything” during a commemoration on Friday morning. Obi Chiejina, younger sister of Vincent Chiejina, 60, told of how a teenager he loved science fiction and “watched religiously” Star Trek. At the 50-plus social group, he attended she was told her brother was always very welcoming to newcomers. Tributes were heard for the El-Wahabi family - Abdulaziz, 52, mother Faouzia, 41, and children Yasin, 20, Nur Huda, 16, and Mehdi, eight. Abdulaziz’s brother, Hamed El-Wahabi, who broke down before and throughout the tribute, recalled how the pair would spend hours in conversationHuda El-Wahabi was in the middle of her GCSEs when she died and was described as an inspiration to those around her. Mariam El-Wahabi, her younger cousin, said: “We all wanted to be like her. We soon came to the realisation it was impossible to be like her - she was too unique.”Faouzia El-Wahabi was remembered as a wonderful baker who had a talent for sewing. “Our sister-in-law Fouzia was the anchor of our family,” said Hanan Wahabi

The cousin of eight-year-old Mehdi El-Wahabi, Sara Chebiouni, nine, said: “It is difficult knowing that Mehdi will never be able to play with us ever again.”Khadija Khaloufi was remembered by her husband of 27-years, Sabah Abdullah. “I lost part of me. That’s it. I’ve got nothing else to say”, he said in the film, his voice breaking. Jessica Urbano Ramirez, 12, was remembered by her sister Melanie Urbano Ramirez, mother Adriana Ramirez and father Ramiro Urbano. “Listening to some of these other pen portraits this week has been difficult for us as we all wish she could have done more and fulfilled her potential,” Melanie said.
