A survivor of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in Sydney has died from complications linked to her injuries, the Daily Mail reported. Eva Geller, aged 90, died on Thursday night in hospital. Her death raises the total number of victims killed as a result of the massacre to 16. [1]

Geller was shot on December 14 last year during the attack in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, according to the Daily Mail. She had spent long periods in hospital receiving treatment for extensive wounds. She recently returned to hospital due to an infection and suffered a stroke prior to her death. [1]

Bondi Beach is located seven kilometres east of the Sydney central business district in the Waverley Council area. It is one of the most visited tourist sites in Australia, drawing up to 50,000 visitors on peak summer days. [2][4]

The death occurred almost eleven months after the shooting as the one year anniversary of the tragedy approaches, the Daily Mail reported. Following the attack, New South Wales passed strict new firearm legislation, as FTMQ News reported earlier. A funeral service for Geller will be held at Che, according to the Daily Mail. [1][5]
