Nearly one year after the December 14, 2025, mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Eva Geller, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor, has died in a Sydney hospital. Geller, who was born in Romania and fled the Holocaust as a child, had been battling medical complications for nearly 11 months, including severe leg injuries, infections, and a recent stroke. Her death brings the total number of victims from the massacre to 16.

The attack, which injured approximately 40 people, was carried out by Sajid Akram and his son, Naveed Akram. Authorities identified the perpetrators as being inspired by the Islamic State and described the event as an antisemitic terrorist act. Sajid Akram was killed by police at the scene. Naveed Akram faces multiple charges, including 15 counts of murder, 43 counts of attempted murder, and committing a terrorist act.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and New South Wales Premier Chris Minns expressed condolences, noting the lasting devastation the attack has caused for the Jewish community and the nation. Authorities are awaiting advice from a state coroner to determine if Geller’s death will lead to additional charges for the defendant. Naveed Akram is scheduled for a court appearance on February 24.
