A POLISH couple who had gone to Manchester Arena to collect their daughters were among the victims of the terror attack that claimed 22 lives.
Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski told a Polish radio station: "The parents came after the concert to collect their daughters and unfortunately we have information that they are dead. The children are safe."
A spokesman for the country's foreign ministry said "at least two people have died and one person has been injured" but could not confirm any further details.
Yesterday York College student Alex Klis, 20, said she was looking for her parents Angelika and Marcin, who had been missing since the attack.
In a post shared widely on Facebook she wrote: "Anyone who is in any safe place or hospital in Manchester, if anyone comes across my parents please please let me know as they've been missing ever since the attack."
Marcin Klis is believed to have worked for York Cars Taxis.
A number of crowd funding websites have been set up this morning on Facebook by well-wishers in an attempt to raise money for the couple's two daughters.
