Hundreds of surfers and beachgoers have returned to Bondi Beach to honor those killed in Sunday’s mass shooting during Hanukah celebrations. The famous Australian beach slowly reopened with lifesavers raising red and yellow flags, showing the surf is now patrolled again. The nearby park and bridge, sites of the massacre, were opened after police finished forensic work. On Friday morning, surfers and paddleboarders formed a large circle in the waters near the shooting scene. Alex Ryvchin, co-chief executive of the executive council of Australian Jewry, said, "It's just beautiful," and added, "I've seen paddle-outs before but never of that size." Drone images captured this powerful moment of people resting on waves, remembering the lost lives. The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of support. Fundraisers have raised over $5 million from more than 70,000 donations worldwide. $2.5 million went to Bondi hero Ahmed al-Ahmed, who bravely disarmed a gunman before being shot twice himself. He asked, "I deserve it?" when given the large cheque. In a video, he urged people to "stand with each other, all human beings and forget everything bad … keep going to save lives." The New South Wales Police Association launched appeals for two injured officers, collecting nearly $750,000. Lifeblood reported more than 25,000 blood donations since their appeal post-attack, with 90,000 appointments booked nationwide, showing record community support.
