The Blood Bank has issued an urgent call for donations, saying it is in a crisis and will have to reschedule certain operations.

The bank said it was suffering a blood shortage because of the major accidents happening almost daily.

Blood donors were asked to call at the Blood Bank, just outside St Luke's Hospital in Guardamangia, which is open every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. or at Gozo General Hospital from Monday to Saturday from 8.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. Donors have to produce their identity card.
