The Health Ministry announced that due to a significant drop in the national blood supply, particularly type O blood units, the ministry and Magen David Adom are calling on the entire public to come and donate blood at donation centers across the country. Health Ministry Director-General Moshe Bar Siman-Tov said that “we need to regularly replenish our blood supply, and I am calling on the public to come and donate, and if more than three months have passed since your last donation – come and donate again. Donating blood is a simple act that saves lives, and it is part of our mutual responsibility and the duty of all of us in routine times and in emergencies.”
