Story summary

A 90-year-old woman named Eva Geller, who was shot during a terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney on December 14, 2025, died almost eleven months later due to complications from her injuries. The death toll from this incident has risen to 16 people. Geller was admitted to the hospital recently with an infection and suffered a stroke while receiving treatment, leading to her death on Thursday evening at Randwick’s Prince of Wales Hospital. She had been in and out of hospitals throughout 2026 due to extensive wounds sustained during the attack.

The incident occurred during a Hanukkah celebration where two gunmen, Naveed Akram (aged 24) and his father Sajid Akram (50), opened fire, resulting in fifteen immediate deaths including that of a 10-year-old girl named Matilda, along with numerous injuries. Sajid Akram was shot dead by police at the scene, while Naveed remains before the courts charged with terrorism and murder offences, facing 78 charges total. The attack is suspected to be inspired by ISIS.

The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, established in response to this incident, heard from over 340 witnesses over 62 days to make recommendations for strengthening social cohesion and countering the spread of ideological extremism.
