Thousands of worshippers in Pakistan's Jhang city pay tribute to 50 victims of New Zealand's double mosque attack.

Thousands of Pakistanis clad in white have gathered in the central city of Jhang to make a human image of New Zealand's Al Noor mosque in Christchurch city,

Drone images showed worshippers standing in formation on Friday, their snow-white traditional shalwar kameez and prayer caps in stark contrast to the emerald green of a public field, as a second group formed the words "Islam is peace" nearby.
Huge New Zealand and Pakistani flags were also displayed along with a giant banner which read: "Solidarity with the martyrs of Christchurch from Pakistan".
The tribute was organised by the Muslim Institute, a non-government organisation aimed at promoting peace and stability in the Muslim world, which also released the drone footage.
Nine of the victims were of Pakistani origin. One, Naeem Rashid, was posthumously given an award for bravery by Pakistan after he apparently tried to tackle the gunman before being shot.
Tribute organisers praised the New Zealand government after what had been a "very tough time" for Muslims in the country - especially Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
Her response "not only soothed the wounds of Muslims but also assured them that Muslims in their country are safe", said Sahibzada Sultan Ahmad Ali, a religious scholar and one of the organisers.
