Photo: RNZThe husband of a woman severely injured in the Christchurch mosque shootings says he's worried about the couple's financial future. Ms Akhter remains in hospital after undergoing several operations, including another one recently for an infection that developed from an earlier operation. Mr Mashud stays with her for up to 18 hours a day, trying to reassure her and build her strength again by preparing her home-cooked meals, although she was still struggling to keep food down. RNZ understands this may include an expansion of the definition of who is eligible for payments for mental health trauma. As of Monday, Ms Akhter was one of 14 people still in hospital following the shootings.
