Ministry spokesman Bart Ouvry said: "There are three people we know were at a particular place at a specific time. There has been no further news of them."

"It's possible they were injured and have been evacuated by foreign relief teams."

It's feared that the three Belgians are among the thousands of Haitians that were buried under rubble by Wednesday's quake.

The Foreign Ministry is checking the whereabouts of 226 people. 116 people have been tracked down including 73 nationals in Haiti.

Little is known about a further twenty, but the Foreign Ministry believes that they are safe.

Four Belgians have been injured. A further 123 people remain unaccounted for.

Repatriation of nationals
The Belgian military airplane sent to Haiti with aid and rescue teams is expected to return to Belgium with nationals that are being evacuated from the country.

Preparations for an evacuation are in full swing. Belgians are expected to rendezvous near the Minustah offices in the early afternoon and then proceed to the airport.

Belgians and their family will have priority on the flight, but other nationalities will also be repatriated.
