Thirteen individuals remain hospitalized following the Bondi Beach terror incident, more than a week after the tragic event unfolded.
In a show of solidarity, the Opera House was illuminated last night, coinciding with the final evening of Hanukkah, to honor the victims.
During a national day of reflection, the iconic Sydney landmark displayed an image of a single candle on its sails. Meanwhile, a poignant vigil at Bondi Beach featured a moment of silence precisely at 6:47 pm (AEDT), marking exactly one week since the initial shots were fired.
As of 7:30 pm on Sunday, NSW Health reported that 13 individuals were still receiving care in Sydney hospitals, with three of them in a critical yet stable condition.
- One patient is in a stable condition at Prince of Wales Hospital.
- One patient is in a critical but stable condition and one patient is in a stable condition at St George Hospital.
- Three patients are in a critical but stable condition and one patient is stable at St Vincent’s Hospital.
- Four patients are stable at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
- Two patients are in a stable condition at Royal North Shore Hospital.
NSW Premier Chris Minns commented last night that Bondi Beach had been “reclaimed” by the thousands who participated in the vigil.
“My heart is heavy for the lives that were taken here,” he expressed.
“I want to say this clearly and sincerely: we are deeply sorry. With humility I acknowledge the government and its highest duty is to protect the citizens and we did not do that one week ago.
“That reality weighs on me heavily.
“We must accept that responsibility and use that to do everything and anything we possibly can to stop it from happening again.”
