At least 50 children were in hospital.
Parents reportedly threw their children over fences in order to get them out of the path of the lorry, which hurtled into the crowds at a “breakneck speeds”, according to witnesses. One mother, called Linda, told France’s iTélé: “My husband picked up the kids and started running, I turned around and just saw so many dead people. I even saw a baby with its head totally crushed.”
Another woman who lost her eight-month-old son in the panic of the attack has been reunited with him following a Facebook appeal.
Nice’s children’s hospital said it had treated around 50 children and adolescents injured in the lorry attack, including two who died following surgery.
The communications director for the Lenval foundation hospital, Stephanie Simpson, said the children had fractures and head injuries.
