Anyone directly or indirectly affected by the Christchurch mosque shootings could be eligible to receive financial compensation, the New Zealand government has said.

The government-funded Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is offering to pay for long-term medical treatment and funeral costs for victims of the March 15 terror attack and also their families.
