The victims in the Barcelona attack come from 24 different countries. According to the broadcaster, the Dutch girl was on holiday with another family. They are four in total, three of whom were injured.

The girl's uncle told RTV Oost thad she is doing well under the circumstances. "She broke both her legs, but it seems she will make a full recovery", he said. He could not say how the other two Dutch were doing. All three are in hospital.

Matthijs van Bonzel, the Dutch ambassador to Spain, will visit the Dutch victims on Friday.
