“Belgium mobilizes civil protection and troops to ensure hospital operation safety”

“The operation of the Sint-Trudo hospital and the surrounding hospitals must not be compromised. This is why we have also mobilized civil protection on the ground,” said the governor during a statement at his residence.

Rescuers from the Flemish Red Cross and Vlaams Kruis are also on the bridge. For its part, the Defense deployed sixteen members of the military police to carry out checks in the immediate vicinity of the site. In addition, 120 soldiers were called in to sweep the site after the party.
