Baljit Singh, the priest at Gurudwara Guru Nanak Sahib told SBS Punjabi that they had been serving food to over 200 stranded passengers.

"We received several calls from many people from different countries about their relatives who were stranded in Brussels after the attacks. Becuase they were with the authorities and their documents were lost at the airport, we were requested to prepare food for them."

"It was with great difficulty that members of the management could meet the passengers where they are kept, due to security reasons. After that, we sent them food last night, and will also do it tomorrow," said Baljit Singh.

He said that there was an atmosphere of fear after the attacks and that there were very few people out of their homes since the attacks.

34 people died in explosions at departure terminal of Brussels airport and a subway station and over a hundred were injured.
