The telephone numbers of emergency 100 and 112 (rescue) and 101 (police) are, as of Friday afternoon, unreachable for many Belgian citizens.
The problem is linked to a widespread disturbance of the fixed network of the telecom operator Proximus, confirms the spokesperson for the company.
Shortly before 16:00 Friday, the company reported via its Facebook page of a “technical problem” making its call centres “difficult to access”.
Emergency services are looking into the possibility of bringing other numbers into service. If the life of a person is in danger, you can contact the emergency centres by sms via the 8112 (crisis center).
