‘I was praying at the synagogue in the airport. We felt the explosion’

Yaakov Yeret, a volunteer for United Hatzalah currently at the Brussels Airport, says thousands of people are being evacuated out of the main building.

“At the time of the explosion I was praying at the synagogue in the airport. We felt the explosion. We exited the synagogue in order to see what was happening and we joined the stream of the multitude of people who were being ushered by the police to exit the terminal. For the moment we are being kept at the other end of the airport and we are awaiting further instructions from the security forces at the scene,” he says.
