The New Zealand authorities still refuse to cooperate in providing lists of dead and wounded victims. The families of the victims were not informed if they were identified, especially if they had New Zealand citizenship, as part of the care of the New Zealand state. From the need to inform States of their nationality upon their arrival in New Zealand.
The Foreign Ministry explained that the names of the martyrs are: Abdul Fattah Qasim al-Dukha, Ali al-Madani, Atta Mohammed Alian, Amjad Hamid, Usama Abu Kwik and Kamel Darwish. Wassim Daraghmeh, Eileen Daraghmeh, Basil Asaad, Shehadeh Al-Senawi and Mohammad Alian. And Khaled Hijjawi.
The Foreign Ministry pointed out that some names may intersect with the lists of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, or other lists of other countries because some of them registered in New Zealand nationality or that their Palestinian assets.
She pointed out that she had instructed the Palestinian Ambassador to Australia and the non-resident of New Zealand to go immediately to New Zealand to follow up the incident and to communicate with the competent authorities, to follow the health situation of the wounded and to offer condolences to the families of the martyrs.
