My heart goes out to you, Cantabrians. I am devastated by the lives lost and destruction I am seeing (from Iraq). I am praying for those who are trapped. God bless, from a Kiwi in Iraq who studied in Chch for 6 years.

I'm from the Uk and was so shocked to hear the news about Christchurch this morning. I'm due to come out to Christchurch in April and my heart truly goes out to Christchurch, and all the New Zealanders that have been affected by this. You may be on the other side of the world but you will be in alot of peoples thoughts in the UK today. Stay safe.
