Scores of people remain in intensive
care following Tuesday's suicide bomb attacks in Brussels that left 31
people dead, Belgium's health minister says.
Earlier, prosecutors confirmed they had identified two of the four attackers as brothers Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui.
Two other attackers have yet to be named. One died, another is on the run.
Brahim el-Bakraoui blew himself up in the attack at Zaventem airport that killed 11 people while Khalid struck at Maelbeek metro, where 20 people died, prosecutors said.
Unconfirmed reports say another of the attackers was the wanted jihadist Najim Laachraoui, who is thought to have links with last year's attacks in Paris.
So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it was behind the attacks
.
EU interior and justice ministers are due to hold a crisis meeting in Brussels on Thursday to discuss their response to the bombings.
