Police believe at least 80 people died when fire engulfed Grenfell Tower, in North Kensington, London in the early hours of 14 June.
Eighteen people have been formally identified by the coroner, but not all names have been released.
Police say the final death toll may not be known until at least the end of the year, when the search and recovery operation is over.
Other people, while not yet formally identified, have been confirmed as among the dead or missing by family or friends.
In an attempt to identify those who might have died, police say they have spoken to at least one person from 106 of the 129 flats in the tower block.
Det Ch Supt Fiona MacCormack said there remained 23 flats where "despite huge investigative efforts, we have been unable to trace anyone".
"We presume no-one survived," she said.
Those confirmed dead named so far
Belkadi and Hamdan family
Six-month-old Leena was found dead in her mother's arms.
She died alongside her father, Omar Belkadi, and mother, Farah Hamdan, in a stairwell outside their flat on the 20th floor.
Malak Belkadi, eight, died in hospital after she was recovered by firefighters in the building.
The family are survived by six-year-old Tazmin who was found alive in hospital.
Farah's cousin Adel Chaoui told the BBC that Farah called her sister while the fire was raging to ask for advice.
"When we told them to get out, Farah said she was told to stay put, not to go anywhere. That was the last we heard" he said.
Anthony Disson
Anthony Disson, described as the "heart and soul" of his family, was a 65-year-old retired lorry driver who lived on the 22nd floor of Grenfell Tower.
Mr Disson, who had lived in the property for eight years, phoned his son at 03:30 and said he was being told to stay in his flat.
"Losing him has left a void that can never be filled," Mr Disson's family said in a statement.
"Tony was the most generous person you could ever meet, he didn't have much but would always be there to help people.
"He had a good life so to lose him in such a tragic way has made the loss hard to bear. We as a family are simply heartbroken."
Mr Disson is survived by four sons, five grandchildren - with a sixth due in September - and three great-grandchildren.
Isaac Paulos
Five-year-old Isaac Paulos has been described by his family as a "kind, energetic, generous little boy".
In a statement, they said: "He was such a good boy who was loved by his friends and family. We will miss him forever, but we know God is looking after him now and that he is safe in heaven."
He was a pupil at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School and lived in Grenfell Tower with parents Genet Shawo and Paulos Petakle, and his three-year-old brother, Luca.
His family had moved to the UK from Ethiopia.
Isaac became separated from his family in the smoke after they fled their flat on the 18th floor.
Khadija Saye
Artist and photographer Khadija Saye, 24, also known as Ya-Haddy Sisi Saye, whose work is being shown in the Venice Biennale, lived on the 20th floor with her mother, who also died.
She was found by investigators on the ninth floor of the block and an inquest into her death was opened on 26 June.
Labour MP David Lammy wrote on Twitter: "May you rest in peace Khadija Saye. God bless your beautiful soul. My heart breaks today. I mourn the tragic loss of a wonderful young woman."
Khadija's work was based on Gambian spiritual practices and British art gallery Tate Britain has displayed one of her works after learning of her death.
She had written on Facebook: "It's been a real journey, tears shed, highs and lows, but mama, I'm an artist exhibiting at the Venice Biennale and the blessings are abundant!"
The Khadija Saye Memorial Fund has been launched by her mentor Nicole Green to fund opportunities for young, emerging artists.
Mary Ajaoi Augustus Mendy
Khadija Saye's mother, Mary Mendy, also died.
The 54-year-old, who was also known as Cissy, was found in the lobby on the 13th floor. She died from smoke inhalation.
Mohammed Alhajali
Syrian refugee Mohammed Alhajali, 23, came to the UK in 2014 and was studying civil engineering.
He had been in a 14th floor flat with his brother Omar, but the pair lost each other in their attempt to escape.
Mohammed then returned to the flat and tried to call family members in Syria but could not get connected to them.
An inquest found that he died from injuries consistent with falling from a height.
His funeral was attended by family members who flew to the UK from Syria and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
His family have described him as a "a very amazing and kind person".
"He came to the UK because he had ambitions and aims for his life and for his family.
"His very last words to us were how much he missed us.
"Ever since he moved away from us, we tried to be united with him and his brothers, and now, instead, we have been united by his body," the family said in a statement.
Mohamed 'Saber' Neda
Mohamed Neda died after trying to help people on the 23rd floor, where he lived.
The 57-year-old was found outside Grenfell Tower and died from injuries consistent with a fall.
In a Facebook appeal, family friend Ariana Neumann Rodger said he had been "last seen on the stairwell injured and helping neighbours".
It is believed that Mohamed Neda's wife and son fled the blaze and are severely injured.
Three members of Mohamed's family attended an inquest into his death that opened on 28 June.
Mohamednur 'Mo' Tuccu
Mohamednur Tuccu, a British national from Eritrea, was visiting friends or family at Grenfell Tower to break Ramadan fast with his wife Amal Ahmedin and three-year-old daughter Amaya.

A colleague at the Red PR consultancy - where Mr Tuccu worked as a security guard for 10 years - said he was due to win an award for his service to the company.
Rebeya and Husna Begum
Mother and daughter Rebeya, 64 and Husna, 22, died on the 17th floor, where their flat was.

He was later pulled from the building by firefighters, but pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Jafari had lived in the tower for 16 years. He was a father of six children and seven grandchildren.
His son Hamid said he had a heart condition and difficulty walking. The provisional cause of his death death was given as "inhalation of fire fumes", with a secondary cause of coronary and hypertensive heart disease.
Gloria Trevisan and Marco Gottardi
Mr Gottardi and his girlfriend Ms Trevisan were both architects living on the 23rd floor of Grenfell Tower.
Mr Gottardi, from a town near Venice, had called his father during the fire, telling him the flat was full of smoke.
Ms Trevisan, 26, from the city of Padua, had told her mother they were unable to leave because they could see flames coming up the stairs and the smoke was getting more intense.
The opening of an inquest into her death heard Ms Trevisan was found in her flat. The cause of her death was "consistent with the effects of fire" and she was identified by her dental records.
Mr Gottardi's inquest is yet to open.
