Thirteen people injured during the Bondi Beach terror attack remain in hospital more than a week after the massacre.
The Opera House was once again lit up in support of victims last night, the final night of Hanukkah.
A single illustrated candle was pictured on the masts of the Sydney icon on a national day of reflection, while at Bondi Beach a moving vigil with a minute’s silence at 6.47pm (AEDT) to mark exactly one week since the first shots were fired.
NSW Health said 13 people remained in Sydney hospitals as of 7.30pm on Sunday, including three who were critical but stable.
- 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.
Last night, NSW Premier Chris Minns said Bondi Beach had been “reclaimed” by the thousands who attended the vigil.
“My heart is heavy for the lives that were taken here,” he said.
“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.”
