Barcelona terror attack : Nationals of at least two dozen countries among dead and injured

By Friday morning the death toll stood at 13. More than 100 were injured. 

So far, the youngest victim of the attacks is thought to be a three-year-old girl, Spanish media reported. She died shortly after she was taken to hospital.

So far, the British foreign office has received no confirmed reports of British citizens injured or killed, but Chris Pawley – 30, a survivor of the Manchester bombing – was visiting Spain with his partner and was in the area when the attack occurred.

He told the Manchester Evening News he couldn’t believe he had been caught up in a second terrorism incident in fewer than six months. He had just left the Ariana Grande in May when the bomb detonated.

Pawley said of Thursday’s attack: “There was police everywhere and ambulances, the shops started putting the shutters down.”

“We have just come back to the hotel, as we were caught up in the arena attack – can’t believe it.”

France has confirmed that there are 26 of its citizens injured with 11 in a serious condition. The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, quoting police, said three Germans were also among the fatalities.

Belgium’s foreign affairs minister, Didier Reynders, confirmed on Twitter that one of its citizens was killed in the attack, and also said the Belgian embassy was in touch with hospitals in the area regarding other possible victims.
