Israeli Unity Shines Through Blood Donations and Volunteer Efforts

Israelis of all backgrounds, including secular teens, yeshiva boys, worried mothers, and Christian pilgrims, lined up for hours at Jerusalem's Pais Arena stadium to donate blood at a Magen David Adom blood drive. The drive aimed to treat the victims of the recent Hamas terrorist attacks, which resulted in the deaths of over 900 Israelis and injured thousands more. The spacious venue allowed for efficient processing of donors, with 150 MDA staff and volunteers on hand. Thousands of units of blood have been donated across the country, with the blood bank ensuring a steady supply for hospitals. The blood drive was organized in cooperation with the organization Safeguarding Our Home, which has been involved in anti-government protests.
