The investigations at Grenfell Tower have led police to believe the "number of people missing, but as yet unaccounted for" has risen from 58, the Metropolitan Police say.
Releasing the first images from inside the burnt-out building, Commander Stuart Cundy on Sunday said some of the victims may never be identified.
He said: "The conditions due to the fire damage verge on indescribable, which is why this will be such a lengthy operation taking weeks to complete.
"We must also prepare people for the terrible reality that some people may not be identified due to the intensity of the fire."
Mr Cundy added: "Sadly that work leads me to believe that the number of people missing, but as yet unaccounted for has risen from yesterday's figure of 58."
