Bondi Beach massacre: Health update on 40 victims of terror shooting being cared for in NSW hospitals
NSW Health has provided an update on the surviving victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack, with 27 patients being cared for at hospitals across Sydney.
Fifteen innocent people lost their lives after two gunmen opened fire at the beach on Sunday evening as hundreds of people gathered there for an event to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah.
Two of those 15 people — a 10-year-old girl and a 40-year-old man – were rushed to hospital but tragically died overnight.
As of 3pm on Monday, six patients were listed as critical condition and are fighting for their lives. Two of those are reported to be police officers.
NSW Premier Chris Minns has called on the public to those who are able to donate blood.
“If you are looking for something practical to do you could give blood,” Mr Minns said on Monday.
“We saw extraordinary scenes from NSW public hospitals last night, emergency departments at the drop of a hat were in the process of saving scores of lives. They need your help.
“If you’re thinking about doing an act of public service in the coming 24 hours, I would urge you contact the Red Cross and do that piece of public-mindedness.”
