The French newspaper Le Monde shared a cartoon this morning in support of the people of Brussels, in light of the twin explosions at the airport and Maalbeek metro station that have killed at least 13 people.
The illustration, by French cartoonist Plantu, shows the flag of France as a crying person, comforting a weeping flag of Belgium.
Written underneath is 13 November, the date of the 2015 Paris attacks that left 130 people killed in the Stade de France and the Bataclan theatre, and 22 March, marking Tuesday’s tragedy.
The people of France have been especially active in expressing their support for Brussels.
As a result of the attacks, the country is on the highest state of alert, and the exact figures of those who died are still not yet known.
