The victims of Brussels’ deadliest terrorist attack were commemorated on Wednesday morning in the seventh commemoration of the event.
On March 22, 2016, 32 people were killed and hundreds injured after three suicide bombers self-exploded at Maelbeek metro station and Zaventem airport.
A minute of silence was observed at each location at the exact moment the explosions took place.
This year, not 16, but 17 names were called at the airport. The name of Shanti De Corte has been added – the young woman who was euthanized last year due to her declining mental health after the attack.
In the months following the attack, the lack of response and help offered by the state left survivors and families of victims disillusioned, adding salt to their wounds.
