I have heard horrifying stories from the fire brigade, from police and from victims themselves who were in that tower but also from other local residents, some of whom of course have not been able to go back to their homes either. "If more funding is required, it will be provided", May said, while more than 1,000 protesters rallied outside her residence Saturday.
Residents of the destroyed tower said Mrs May was far too slow to visit the community, and that officials had failed to give enough information and support to those who have lost relatives and their homes.
The PM has said the support for families was "not good enough" in the hours after the disaster.
She has now ordered daily updates on the progress of rehousing victims and has deployed more staff across north Kensington and on phone lines to support victims.
May said she would be responsible for implementing the inquiry's findings, while the victims' legal costs would be met by the government.
The Government's £5 million emergency fund is already being spent on clothing and food to help the dispossessed and NHS London will provide counselling and bereavement support to families.

A total of 58 people who were in the Grenfell Tower on the night of the fire were missing and presumed to be dead, London police said. "So that 58 would include that 30", the spokesman said Saturday. He says it will take weeks or longer to recover and identify all the dead at the charred building.
"During recent visits in Manchester and London, I have been profoundly struck by the immediate inclination of people throughout the country to offer comfort and support to those in desperate need", the queen said in a statement.

Scalise, the No. 3 House Republican, arrived at the hospital via helicopter in shock, with intense internal bleeding, Sava said. The congressman underwent another surgery Saturday, and the hospital says he is more responsive and speaking with family.
Thousands of protesters have marched on Downing Street to call for Prime Minister Theresa May to step down after the deadly fire at Grenfell Tower.
"We as the police, we investigate criminal offences - I'm not sitting here and saying there are criminal offences that have been committed, that's why you do an investigation, to establish it".
Cundy said police had now managed to get to the top of the tower and had undertaken a first visual search for victims, ahead of later painstaking searches.

The bishop praised the way the residents raised and explained their concerns to May.
The PM has come in for heavy criticism over her response to Wednesday morning's fire, and protests were held in Whitehall as Mrs May met the locals.
On Saturday, she invited a group of residents and community leaders to Number 10 Downing Street for a two and a half hour meeting to listen to their concerns.
Before meeting with the survivors, May chaired a "cross-government" meeting at her office "to ensure everything possible is being done to support those affected" by the tragedy, a spokesman said. With the death toll rising, families of the victims have railed against officials like May and Mayor Sadiq Khan.
