3 300 victims of Manchester bomb

VICTIMS traumatised by the Manchester Arena bomb are still emerging and now 3,300 people need help, experts say.

Some 172 affected have come forward since the first anniversary of Salman Abedi’s suicide blast which killed 22 adults and kids.

And one in five looking for support are children, says the NHS Manchester Resilience Hub. Dr Alan Barrett, its consultant clinical psychologist, said people will delay seeking help as they feel others are more deserving.

Roy Martin,

TERRORIST Abedi of Northwich, Cheshire, his wife and two daughters have post-traumatic stress disorder after the May 2017 attack at the Ariana Grande concert.

He said: “No one should sit there in silence and think there’s no one out there to help.” Mr Martin had not known for 15 minutes if his daughters were alive. He said when they heard it had been a suicide bomb, “it really hit home – everyone in the car just broke down, we just couldn’t believe that we had made it out in one piece”. British police want to extradite 22-year-old Abedi’s younger brother Hashem, 21, over his alleged involvement in the blast. A warrant for his arrest has been issued.
