Protests were held in London as residents demanded support for those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
Between
50 and 60 people stormed Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall as members of
the public said the homeless needed help "right now".
Crowds gathered outside a hall where PM Theresa May met survivors and protests were also held at Downing Street.
Mrs May sanctioned £5m for clothes, food and emergency supplies, as the death toll rose to at least 30.
The BBC understands those missing could number about 70, with the 30 likely to be among that number.
Three of those who died have been identified.
There was nothing to suggest the fire was started deliberately, police said.
Hundreds of mourners stood arm in arm at a vigil and held a two-minute silence for victims of the fire.
Many wept openly as candles illuminated the road outside the Latymer Christian Centre, yards from the site of the blaze.
The fire broke out shortly before 01:00 BST on Wednesday.
It tore through all floors of the building and took more than 200 firefighters 24 hours to bring it under control.
Mahad
Egal, who escaped his fourth floor flat with his family, said: "At
first it seemed it was controllable, but really quickly the fire started
to rise as the cladding caught fire. It is incredible we survived."
Emergency services spent a third day searching for bodies in the burnt-out Grenfell Tower in North Kensington.
The first protest began at around 15:00 at the town hall and scores later joined it.
At about 16:30, people began to rush up the steps and make their way into the building.
One
member of the public said: "Nobody knows what is happening. People are
so angry. Those people shouldn't be sleeping in the street."
Mustafa
Al Mansur, who organised the protest, read a statement from the council
which promised to re-house as many people locally as they could and to
provide funding for those affected.
But he called the response
"flimsy" with "no concrete answers" - especially on the question of
number of residents who lived in the flats.
"The people were not satisfied with the answers," he told BBC News.
"The
people were getting frustrated and they walked towards the building.
They did not force themselves inside. They got inside the main building
and were in the foyer, just speaking."
Police then arrived on the
scene and formed a barricade, which Mr Al Mansur said led to "physical
confrontation" between the two sides.
There were then angry scenes
outside the Clement James Centre, in North Kensington, where the
meeting with the prime minister and residents of the tower had been
held.
Dozens of demonstrators surged towards the entrance and there were scuffles outside as organisers appealed for calm.
Mrs
May had faced criticism for not meeting with survivors in the immediate
aftermath, unlike Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Mayor of London Sadiq
Khan.
Asked about the reaction of the crowd, Mrs May defended the government's response.
"What I am now absolutely focused on is ensuring we get that support on the ground," she said.
"The government is making money available, we are ensuring we are
going to get to the bottom of what has happened, we will ensure that
people are re-housed. We need to make sure that actually happens."
Mr
Corbyn wrote an open letter to the prime minister, calling for the
public inquiry to ensure "all necessary lessons are learned".
The
Labour leader added: "[The inquiry] must be empowered to consider all
the steps that were, or were not, taken leading up to and contributing
to this most terrible incident.
"It must also identify the urgent
steps that need to be taken in relation to fire safety standards for
other buildings of this nature."
Large crowds of people also gathered in Westminster and made their way to Downing Street.
The crowd was heard chanting, "Justice for Grenfell", along with "May must go" and "blood on your hands".
A
peaceful march started making its way down Whitehall and was halted by
police outside Downing Street, before moving to Oxford Circus, where
demonstrators carried out a sit-down protest.
The march continued
up Regent Street, where they held a minute's silence outside the BBC's
headquarters, and continued towards Marble Arch and Notting Hill, ending
at Lancaster Gate.
The £5m Grenfell Tower Residents' Discretionary Fund, announced by
Mrs May, includes the aim to re-house residents within three weeks as
close to where they lived before as possible, to pay for temporary
housing in the meantime and to provide extra financial assistance.
During
her meeting with survivors, the PM also said they would be consulted on
the terms of the public inquiry announced on Thursday and receive state
funding for legal representation.
Mrs May said: "Everyone
affected by this tragedy needs reassurance that the government is there
for them at this terrible time - and that is what I am determined to
provide."
