Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Born a refugee, Ibrahim Aziz came to New Zealand to start a new life. Almost a year later he is living in a van in Dunedin, and contemplating leaving the country.

"I don't want things, I want things to help me with my new community, like services."

Aziz, who had worked as a facilitator with the United Nations in Palestine, said all he wanted was a job.

"I want to work. I will do anything."
