A Filipina living at the London residential building destroyed by fire recently is missing, according to the Philippine Embassy in the U.K. capital.
Ligaya G. Moore is a known resident at the Grenfell Tower, the embassy said in a statement issued on Thursday, June 15.
The embassy is requesting from anyone information on Moore and her whereabout and condition.
So far, the embassy found no Filipino injured in the fire that engulfed the 24-storey, 120-home building in just 15 minutes. It is requesting Filipino and Filipino-British nationals affected by the fire to make themselves known, so the embassy can provide them assistance.
The building caught fire early Wednesday killing at least 17 people and wounding dozens others. Authorities are now searching for bodies inside the charred structure.
