Brussels attacks: Identities of dead, injured and missing as Belgium enters second day of mourning
The identities of those killed, injured or still missing following the Islamic State (Isis) terrorist attacks in Brussels have begun to emerge. The suicide bombings at the airport in Zaventem and at Maalbeek Metro station on Monday (22 March 2016) saw more than 30 people lose their lives and at least 250 others injured.
Belgium has declared three days of mourning. People lit candles and laid flowers in the Place de la Bourse throughout the night following the attacks in a show of unity.
- At least three individuals have been identified as among the 31 killed in the attacks
- The British government has raised concerns for a missing UK national believed to be David Dixon
This concludes today's live blog coverage of those reported dead, injured and missing following the Brussels attacks.
Families continue to issue search appeals on social media for loved ones not yet accounted for, and relatives of those seriously injured await news of their recovery in hospital. The names of more dead victims are likely to be revealed over Easter weekend.

A possible fourth victim has been named in local media as 51-year-old bagagge handler Fabienne Vansteenkiste. She had reportedly just finished her shift when the two bombs exploded at the airport.
It may take officials days to formally identify victims but her family says it is "realistic" about the situation, Sky News reported.
