22 March marked a week of the terror attacks in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, where 50 people were shot dead by a single gunman.

After the attacks, the country has come together to mourn the attacks and stand in solidarity with the Muslim community.

On Friday, citizens along with prime minister Jacinda Ardern stood at Hagley park, in front on the Al Noor mosque, one of the mosques where the shooting happened, as they observed the Muslim prayer. The service touched ‘every New Zealander’s heart’, reported Reuters .
