After terror attacks in Brussels killed at least 30 people and injured dozens more, people are taking to the streets to spread messages of peace.

Messages written in multiple languages in colored chalk cover the ground near the Place de la Bours, which houses Belgium’s stock exchange.

At least three messages read "Pray for Belgium," "Love is my religion" and "Islam -- it's not terrorism." Another says "Hart boven haat," or heart above hatred.

People have also decorated the streets with candles, flowers and drawings.
