Three days after the Christchurch shootings, families are waiting to bury the victims.
Three-year-old Mucad Ibrahim was the youngest victim of the mass shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand. By Anna Fifield Anna Fifield Beijing bureau chief. Email Bio Follow March 17 at 9:01 PM CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — Mucad Ibrahim was wearing little white socks, the type with grips on the bottom so that toddlers don’t slip, when he was carried out of the Al Noor mosque in this city.

He was the youngest of the 50 victims killed in the attacks on two mosques that have shocked New Zealand and especially this city, which is no stranger to tragedy after a devastating earthquake in 2011 that killed 185 people.

Caption Fifty people were killed and scores more injured when a heavily armed gunman clad in military-style gear opened fire during prayers at two mosques in the city of Christchurch.
Some 90 disaster victim identification officers, including 20 from abroad, are working to identify the victims. But Christchurch’s coroner said it was a time-consuming process that included identifying clothing and obtaining medical records and fingerprints. Heavy machinery was being used to dig dozens of graves at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Christchurch, not far from the site of the second mosque that was attacked. A local funeral home has been designated to receive bodies for families to conduct ritual washings.
Some held signs offering free hugs; others gave out home-baked cookies to victims’ families. Members of the Black Power, a motorcycle gang, performed a haka, or Maori dance, on the street opposite the mosque. The haka is often performed to show strength and unity.
