Eva Geller, who was shot in the Bondi beach attack, has died in hospital at 90, a senior Jewish community source told The Guardian. The attack at a Hanukkah festival on 14 December 2025, had previously been reported to have killed 15 people and injured 40.
The source said Geller had been in and out of hospital during 2026 for treatment of her injuries. She recently returned after developing an infection and died there after having a stroke.
New South Wales police said they were aware of her death and were awaiting further advice while working with the coroner’s office. Whether her death resulted from her shooting injuries and changes the attack’s official toll has not been established.
The alleged attackers were Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid Akram, 50. Police shot Sajid Akram dead at the scene. Naveed Akram faces 78 charges, including 15 counts of murder and one count of committing a terrorist act, and his case remains before the courts.
