The much-anticipated final report from the public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy is set for release on Wednesday. The devastating blaze, which claimed 72 lives, ignited national discourse about building standards and the treatment of low-income communities.

The fire at the 23-storey social housing block in west London, occurring in the early hours of June 14, 2017, escalated swiftly due to combustible cladding. The inquiry focuses on the building's design, maintenance, and whether safety regulations were followed and adequate.
