   Holocaust survivor Eva Geller dies nearly a year after Bondi Beach shooting

   Eva Geller, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor shot during the antisemitic attack on a Sydney Hanukkah celebration, has died in hospital, nearly a year after the assault. Her death from the attack injuries raises the toll to 16. Geller was shot on December 14 and hospitalised with extensive injuries after doctors initially told her she would never walk again. She had fought to walk again before her death in hospital on Thursday.

   Why it matters

   The attack at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration killed 15 people and injured others, targeting a Jewish community event. Geller's death almost 11 months later makes her the 16th person to die from the massacre. She survived the Holocaust before enduring the shooting and a long recovery.
