<p>Khadija Khalloufi, who lived in Grenfell Tower, had not been seen since a huge blaze destroyed the 24-storey tower block in west London last Wednesday.</p>

<p>Scotland Yard have also formally identified residents Ya-Haddy Sisi Saye, also known as Khadija Saye, 24, Abufars Ibrahim, 39, Anthony Disson, 65, and Mohammad Alhajali, 23, as among the victims.</p>
<p>The rest are missing, presumed dead, Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said on Monday.</p>
<p>In a statement, the family of Mr Disson said: <i>&#8220;Our family are devastated at receiving the news that Tony sadly did not survive the fire at Grenfell Tower.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tony leaves behind a large family, his wife, sons and grandchildren, including one grandchild he will never get to meet.</p>
<p>&#8220;We miss him terribly, and are pulling together as a family and trying to stay strong under these tragic circumstances.</p>
<p>&#8220;We ask at this time that our family are left to grieve in private.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>There were emotional scenes at the site in north Kensington at 11am as firefighters halted work to join residents for a minute&#8217;s silence held to remember those who lost their lives and all others affected by the blaze.</p>

<p>The silence was also observed at government buildings across the country.</p>
<p>Mr Cundy said the death toll may still change, but not as significantly as it has in recent days, adding &#8220;the awful reality is that we may not be able to identify all those that died&#8221; inside what is now a blackened and charred shell.</p>
<p>He fought back tears as he told reporters at New Scotland Yard about the scene inside the tower.</p>
<p>Footage from inside the gutted building has been released, showing the extent of the damage.</p>
<p>Mr Cundy said it had been &#8220;incredibly emotional working in there&#8221;, adding: <i>&#8220;On Saturday I went in myself and went to the top floor.</p>
<p>&#8220;And it is incredibly hard to describe the devastation in some parts of that building.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Speaking later outside Scotland Yard, he added: <i>&#8220;I have investigated major crime for most of my service and I have seen some terrible things.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I don&#8217;t think anything prepared me for what I was going to see when I was in there.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to describe my feelings, because I cannot imagine, and I would not want to put myself in the position of those families who have lost their loved ones.</p>
<p>&#8220;But being with colleagues from the London Fire Brigade when I was in there, colleagues from the London Ambulance Service and other police officers, I think it&#8217;s fair to say it is incredibly emotional working in there.</p>
<p>&#8220;But we will do it with our utmost professionalism and we will do everything we can as quickly as we can to locate everybody who is in there.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Five people who had been reported missing after the disaster have been found safe and well, he added.</p>
<p>Amid anger in the wake of the disaster, which was described by London mayor Sadiq Khan as a &#8220;preventable accident&#8221;, the Government announced that those left homeless will be given at least £5,500 from an emergency fund.</p>
