The family of the Bondi shooting’s youngest victim, Matilda, urged the community not to let her death fuel anger, as they said a final goodbye to the 10-year-old on Thursday.

Matilda was among 15 people who were shot dead when two gunmen opened fire on an event marking the start of Hanukkah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday.

Speaking to the BBC at Matilda’s funeral, her aunt Lina Chernykh said that whilst Sydney’s Jewish community want more done to stamp out antisemitism, Matilda was a happy child and she wanted that happiness to be spread in her memory.

Footage released by her family shows Rabbi Eli Schlanger performing the Tefillin prayer ritual around the arm of Matilda’s father, Michael, while she stands by in a yellow dress before the attack.
