A man whose partner was killed in the Manchester Arena attack has called for more support for victims after being left feeling "abandoned and lost"

Paul Price suffered catastrophic injuries in the bomb blast but said these were "insignificant" to heartache of [size=inherit]losing his partner Elaine McIver.

He said it had been "a living nightmare" and urged the government to set up a survivor's hub for victims.

The Home Office said: "We know there is still more to do."

Ms McIver was among the 22 people killed when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated his home-made device at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May, 2017.

On the night of the bombing, Mr Price and Ms McIver had gone to collect his daughter from the concert.

Mr Price spent eight months in hospital being treated for his injuries, which included losing the function of one leg, becoming deaf in one ear and having shrapnel embedded in his body.

In the interview with Mr Price he looked ,to me, to have PTSD also.
After 5 yrs his operations for the injuries are ongoing and that is the reason being put for the delay in financial help.
He is put through more trauma each time he seeks it.
