West Bank blood drive sets Israeli record for number of donations
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA blood drive in the northern West Bank’s Samaria Regional Council has broken an Israeli record with 783 donations.
The previous record of 780 was set at a blood drive in Tel Aviv during the 2014 Gaza War.
The organizers say they are hoping to reach 1,000 donations by the end of the day.
The drive was arranged by Samaria Regional Brigade Commander Sagiv Dahan, in cooperation with Magen David Adom and the Samaria Regional Council, after his wife was saved earlier this year by blood donated during birthing complications.
