'How can you sleep at night?': Anger of parents of Manchester Arena attack's youngest victim Saffie-Rose Roussos
The mother of Saffie-Rose Roussos, the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena terror attack, says she believes her daughter would have survived if given the 'right medical attention'. The eight-year-old, from Lancashire, was among 22 people who died when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb following an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017.
She remained in the foyer, where only three paramedics were dispatched, for 26 minutes as she drifted in and out of consciousness while being helped by members of the public, Showsec security staff and medics from the Arena's medical services contractor ETUK. She was taken to hospital where she went into cardiac arrest and was declared dead at 11.40pm. Her cause of death was ‘multiple injuries’ caused by the explosion.
"I believe that knowing Saffie and how she was talking, how she was fully aware, breathing, drinking water, basically asking for help - just help me.
