Brussels attacks. Victims of various nationalities (Maj6)

(B2) Among the victims of the double attack on the airport and the Maelbeck metro on March 22, we naturally find many Belgians but also many other nationalities.

About forty nationalities are involved, Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders quickly indicated on RTBF on Wednesday (March 23). Without reaching this number yet, we can note the very great diversity of nationalities affected, anchoring the characteristic "European capital" of Brussels in reality.

The last official report, drawn up on Sunday (March 27), mentioned 28 deceased victims, to which must be added the 3 suicide bombers, i.e. 31 dead. The balance sheet was increased on Tuesday (29 March) to 32 dead (+ 3 suicide bombers, or 35 dead) including 17 Belgians and 15 foreigners of eight different nationalities.

We deplore about 340 wounded, of 19 different nationalities (in addition to Belgian nationals): 101 still hospitalized, Sunday (March 27), including 62 in intensive care (32 in severe burns units).

More than a dozen nationalities affected

According to the latest count established by B2, from diplomatic, official, family and press sources, there are 14 different nationalities among the deceased: 13 Belgians + 1 German, 1 French, 1 Italian, 1 British, 3 Dutch, 1 Pole, 2 Swedes, 1 Swiss. As well as: 1 Chinese, 1 Congolese, 1 Indian, 1 Moroccan, 1 Peruvian, 2 Americans.
