A survivor of the Bondi Beach massacre has died from complications stemming from her injuries as the one year anniversary of the tragedy looms.
Eva Geller, 90, was shot during the terrorist attack in Sydney's eastern suburbs on December 14 last year.
She has since spent lengthy stints in hospital in relation to the extensive wounds she sustained and recently returned following an infection.
She suffered a stroke while receiving treatment and died on Thursday night - taking the death toll from the massacre to 16.
Mrs Geller's funeral will be held on Monday.
Sajid Akram, 50, and his son Naveed Akram, 24, allegedly opened fire during Hanukkah celebrations at Archer Park near Bondi Beach.
The surviving accused gunman, Naveed Akram, faces 59 charges including terrorism offences and multiple counts of murder, and is being held under high-security conditions at Goulburn Supermax prison.
