Christchurch terror attack victims will be able to access counselling, education, medical treatment and financial planning advice thanks to a $1.1 million donation.
The majority of the money – about $966,000 – was raised by the Jewish community in Pittsburgh in the US, with the rest of the donation coming from New Zealand and Australia. It has been donated to the Christchurch Foundation, which is administering a special fund to help with the long term needs of March 15 shooting victims.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh raised the money because the Muslim community in its city was supportive after an attack on a synagogue in the US city last year. In October 2018, an attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill killed 11 worshippers.
