Senior official sources have confirmed that 56 people&nbsp;— all civilians&nbsp;— were killed in the [[7 July 2005 London bombings]].

On [[July 10]], [[2005]], the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]] [[Tony Blair]] announced that some 74 families had been assigned family liaison officers.

At least 90 injuries were reported from Aldgate Station alone. Ninety-five of the injured were taken to the [[Royal London Hospital]] where they were treated; 17 were in critical condition. Many others were treated at [[St Mary's Hospital (London)|St Mary's Hospital]], [[Paddington]]. Individuals who were wounded and walking were treated at the scene; an eyewitness reported that they were "operating on injured people on the concourse at Liverpool Street station" (see [http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,12780,1523169,00.html]).

[[Paramedics]] were sent down into the tube system to search for more casualties. [[St. John Ambulance]] was called out to assist the London Ambulance Service ([http://www.sja.org.uk/]), and hospitals had to call in off-duty staff, plus doctors from as far afield as [[Hampshire]] and [[Oxfordshire]]. The ticket hall and waiting area of King's Cross station was used as a temporary hospital for the victims of the Piccadilly Line explosion. Air ambulances were used extensively to provide rapid transportation of specialist medics to the scenes of the explosions. A number of London buses were also used to transport the "walking wounded" to hospital.

At a press conference the following day, [[July 8]], [[2005]], it was revealed that of 700 people injured ([http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4662395.stm]) in the explosions, 350 were treated on the spot and 208 at Royal London Hospital alone (see[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4659511.stm]) were treated in hospital and 100 of them were kept in hospital overnight. 22 were in a serious or critical condition, and one person subsequently died. Many of the injured were foreign nationals, including people from [[Sierra Leone]], [[Australia]], [[South Africa]], [[Colombia]], [[Poland]], [[New Zealand]], [[Israel]] and [[China]]. The first fatality to be formally identified was Susan Levy, 53, of [[Newgate Street Village]]. Two Irish passport holders were also reported killed, an unidentified woman from [[New Zealand]], and Ciaran Cassidy. There were some difficulties when medical personnel needed to communicate with non-English speakers.

The retrieval of bodies from the Piccadilly Line tunnel was hampered by dangerous conditions, including [[asbestos]], [[rats]] and temperatures that reached 60° [[Celsius]] (140° [[Fahrenheit]]). Because it is a single-line tunnel, there was little room for workers to pass on the outside of the train, therefore they had to work their way through the wreckage, or approach it the long way along the tunnel from Russell Square. There were also concerns that the deep tunnel might be unstable; although in a press conference on [[July 9]], [[2005]], authorities said there has been no long-term damage to tunnels at any of the sites.

Police believe the four suspected bombers died in the explosions. This suggests that the attacks are the first [[suicide bombing]]s in the history of the UK (see[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4676861.stm]).
