The death toll in last month's attack on a German Christmas market now stands at six, with a woman unable to recover from her injuries.
The victim, identified only as a 52-year-old woman, died Monday at a hospital from wounds sustained in the Dec. 20 attack, according to the Associated Press.
She was one of hundreds of people injured when a 50-year-old Saudi doctor drove his car through Magdeburg's crowded holiday market. He was arrested immediately after the attack.
Five people died at the scene, and some of the injured were hospitalized in critical condition.

He described himself as a former Muslim and is said to have criticized Islam while expressing support for the far right on social media.
“The Magdeburg gunman has repeatedly attracted attention for threatening crimes. There have been warnings about him, but the information known so far shows that his political rhetoric is very chaotic and that public safety None of the authorities' patterns applied to him,” said German Justice Minister Volker. Wissing told the Funke Newspaper Group via the Associated Press last month.
