30 years after having been seriously injured by a First World War bomb, 39-year-old Maïté Roël from the West Flemish municipality of Koekelare has finally received compensation for her injuries. Ms Roël has had to wait so long to receive compensation for the injuries she sustained when she was 9 years old, as she first had to be granted recognition as a victim of war.
