Manchester Arena survivors to share £20 million

16 children who were injured in the Manchester Arena attack have been awarded nearly £20 million.

Damanges will be paid by venue manager SMG Europe Holdings, Showsec International Ltd, who provided crowd management, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and British Transport Police (BTP) and payments will range from £2,770 to £11.4m.

Judge Nigel Bird approved the claims at a Manchester Civil Courts of Justice hearing for 16 people who were under the age of 16 at the time of the attack.

The 16 people cannot be identified due to a court order.
