It’s really SAD blood donors turning up at @KNBTSOfficial centres to donate blood are being turned away as there are no gloves , no blood bags , no strapping bags or refreshments needed to conduct bleeding 💉 #StateofBlood
As #DigitalHumanitarian we get about 10 blood appeals daily via social media, @HumanitarianDig

I also keep getting calls from people who need help to get blood , it’s emotional draining

KNBTS doesn’t have any blood or blood products in stock
