Magen David Adom blood bank officials are calling on Israelis to donate blood as there is a nationwide shortage. At present the shortage is especially type O as well as all RH negative blood.

MDA calls on people to donate between 17 and 19 Shevat as a special effort is being made nationwide to accommodate blood bank services. For information as to where one may donate, one may call 03-5300-400 (person will respond) or 1-800-400-101 (for a digital response). One may also visit the organization’s webpage for blood donations.
