Wearing hijab and a black dress, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern visited on Saturday the families of the Muslim worshippers who were killed Friday in a terror attack in Christchurch.

In a video shared on social media, Ardern appeared talking to the crowd, reassuring the people who lost their loved ones in Christchurch’s mosques.

«We feel grief, we feel injustice, we feel anger, and we share it with you», said the Prime Minister while putting her left hand on her chest as a sign of compassion.

Speaking to these Muslim families, living in Christchurch, Ardern promised to «ensure the safety» of mosques and to speed the process of «recovering the bodies» of those who were killed in the heinous attacks.

«All bodies will be removed by the end of the day. We know how important this is for you», she stated.

The Prime Minister told reporters, in a second press conference, that New Zealand’s guns laws will be reviewed after Friday’s terror attacks.

For the record, Australian terrorist Brendon Terrant opened fire, Friday, on worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, killing 50 people and injuring many others.
