The Grenfell families spending Christmas in temporary accommodation

More than six months after the fire in Grenfell Tower, 17 families with children look set to spend this Christmas in a hotel room. The local council says it is working around the clock to offer accommodation to those affected by the fire, but despite them committing more than £200 million to secure hundreds of new properties, most families still do not have a permanent place to call home.

We spent time with two families who are preparing to spend this Christmas in temporary accommodation.
