Rush of donors fills MDA blood banks to capacity, no more donors needed
Magen David Adom says the rush of blood donors from around the country has filled its blood banks to capacity.
“MDA is grateful to the huge public that arrived en masse to donate blood. At the moment there’s no more need to come today. Donations will be welcome over the course of the next week,” the organization’s spokesman Zaki Heller says.
Reports are surfacing on social media that MDA donation stations are starting to turn away donors for lack of space to properly store new donations.
