These are the victims of the Brussels terror attacks.

A photograph taken seconds after the explosion at Brussels’ Maelbreek metro station captures a moment of solace between a couple surrounded by devastation.

The couple were photographed embracing before turning to aid a man lying on the ground behind them, one of more than 100 injured in today’s attacks. At least 34 people are confirmed dead.

It is impossible to measure the extent of damage wrought by the Brussels terrorist attacks at this early stage, the full emotional toll on those who witnessed the attacks and victims’ families will never be known.

“Two bombs went off, there’s nothing left,” a man, who was 30 metres from the explosion at the Brussels airport with his family, told the BBC.

“Everything is devastated, there’s nothing left.”

Watch here:

As yet, no Australians are known to be amongst the dead or injured, but DFAT has advised against travelling to Belgium and urged those trapped there to listen to and follow the instructions of local authorities.

It will be sometime before the victims can be formally identified, however.

Brussels Airport has offered condolences to victims’ families on the their Facebook page asking those searching for information about loved ones contact them directly.

It is believed one of the explosions in the terminal occurred outside a Starbucks store, injuring one employee.

“Amidst reports of attacks targeting Brussels’ airport and at a metro station, initial indications are that an explosion took place outside of a [Starbucks] store within the airport,” a statement from the stores management reads.

“While one partner [employee] was injured, we can confirm that all our partners have been accounted for and are safe. This store and all other Starbucks stores in Brussels will remain closed until further notice.”

Two British nationals have been injured, according to the foreign service, along with at least nine Americans, including a US Air Force officer and five of his relatives.

Three missionaries from Utah were also hurt, along with a fourth French missionary.

A former Belgian basketball player, Brazillian-born Sebastien Bellin, was also injured, according to the Spanish press.

Some Australian tourists remain trapped in Brussels. Mia Egerton-Warburton, 20, an exchange student from Western Australia, arrived in the city on Monday and is staying with friends just minutes from the metro station.

“All our families are pretty panicked, basically telling us to get out of Belgium,” she told News.com.

“We are staying safe and well informed though, and just devastated that this situation is happening to such a beautiful city.”
