Sydney, Australia - An elderly woman who was wounded in last year's mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney has died from complications linked to her injuries, a Jewish community group announced on Friday.
A father-and-son duo are accused of killing 15 people and wounding dozens more in an antisemitic attack at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach on December 14 last year.
90-year-old Eva Geller died in hospital almost 11 months after she was shot while attending a Hanukkah event, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry said in a statement.
"Ninety year old Eva Geller has died 11 months after sustaining serious injuries during last year’s Chanukah terror attack," the council wrote on X.
"It is reported that she developed an infection as a result of her wounds and was admitted to hospital, where she passed away overnight," the statement continued. "We wish her family long life."
Geller had been repeatedly hospitalized in the wake of the attack, local media reported. New South Wales Police said they were speaking with the coroner and awaiting further advice.
Alleged shooter Naveed Akram remains in custody and has been charged with 15 murders, committing a terrorist act, and dozens of other serious offenses. His father, Sajid Akram, was shot and killed by police during the December 14 attack.
