All 298 people on board a Malaysia Airlines plane
lost their lives after the jet crashed into a field in eastern Ukraine,
close to the border with Russia. Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala
Lumpur was travelling over the conflict-hit region on 17 July when it
plummeted to the ground.
The US has accused pro-Russian separatists of
shooting down the plane with a missile, probably by mistake. Russia has
blamed Ukrainian government forces.
The dead include 283 passengers - of which 80 are children - and 15 crew members. The country mourning the biggest number of victims is the Netherlands, followed by Malaysia and Australia.
