Two people died in a fire in an apartment building in the Belgian coastal town of Blankenberge when they tried to jump to safety from the fourth floor. A third person was lightly injured.

The Belgian emergency services are worried that more victims may still be inside. Local police say that in addition to the official residents, the building was also home to many illegal immigrants.
