Belgian authorities say 90 people remain in hospital, 49 of them in intensive care, one week after suicide bombers killed 32 people at Brussels’ airport and a subway station.
Belgium’s victims identification team and Health Ministry say in a joint press conference yesterday that the 32 dead include 17 Belgians and 15 foreigners. They say 30 of the most seriously wounded people are being treated for burns, while 44 foreigners from 20 nations are among the injured.
Ine Van Wymersch, a spokeswoman for the Belgian prosecutor’s office, says investigators believe 32 will be the final death total unless any of those hospitalized perish from their injuries. Three suicide bombers also killed themselves in the attack. AP
