Syrian refugees are among the 49 victims in the New Zealand mosque terror attacks, according to local news outlet Newshub. One refugee father was reportedly shot dead in the attack, a refugee child is believed to be missing, and other refugee children are seriously injured in hospital. Ali Akil from the group Syrian Solidarity New Zealand told Newshub: “It is deeply saddening that these refugees have come all the way from Syria to New Zealand, thinking that it was a safe haven... They escaped death and torture in Syria, to come to New Zealand, and be killed here.” Akil said one family had been hit particularly hard by the attack, but wasn’t able to confirm the exact number of refugee casualties. “One of the children is missing and the other child is in the hospital in a serious condition ... It's very clear that this terrorist has an agenda against ... immigrants and people of immigrant backgrounds.”
