“This is the most peaceful, lovely place on earth, and will remain so,” a soft spoken Palestinian, who did not wish to be identified, told AFP. Schools across the city were barricaded, and the air was filled with the wail of sirens as police rushed to the mosques and ambulances ferried the dead and injured to Christchurch Hospital on the other side of the park.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, through teary eyes and shock, insisted on unity: “It looks as if the worst has happened and we need to pull together and get through this situation.”Christchurch is no stranger to tragedy. Eight years ago 185 people were killed when a powerful earthquake destroyed much of the central city on February 22, 2011.
