A 71-year-old man has been named as the first victim of the New Zealand terror attack by his family, according to reports.
Haji Daoud Nabi was killed while trying to save another person's life during the mass shooting in Christchurch on Friday.
Mr Nabi's son Omar told reporters his father was killed in the attack, which claimed the lives of at least 49 people.
The 43-year-old was told his father had thrown himself in front of another worshipper before being shot. He told NBC News that his father helped refugees start their new lives in New Zealand.
Omar, who missed Friday prayers due to work, said: "Whether you’re from Palestine, Iraq, Syria — he’s been the first person to hold his hand up."
Fears are also growing for a missing three-year-old boy as families appeal for information on relatives after the attacks.
Abdi Ibrahim told New Zealand news site Stuff that he was at the Deans Ave mosque with his father and three-year-old brother Mucad Ibrahim when the shooting started.
Mucad has not been seen since the shooting, his brother said.
It comes as initial reports from several governments suggest several of those killed or wounded were from the Middle East or South Asia.

She said she was with her son, who is "traumatised" after being shot in his back and leg.
