Christchurch mosque shooting witnesses want more support

From Morning Report, 7:46 am on 22 December 2020

Witnesses to the horror of the Christchurch mosque shootings say they remain the forgotten victims of the terror attack.

Those who didn't suffer physical injuries during the attack are not eligible for ACC support, despite their ongoing trauma being highlighted in recently released Royal Commission inquiry into the attack.

Witnesses told the commission their mental well-being continued to be affected by stress, anxiety, depression and difficulty sleeping.

Christchurch reporter Anan Zaki spoke to witnesses who are pleading for better support.
