Blood supplies at the Blood Bank have gone down drastically to the extent that some operations may have to be cancelled.
The Blood Bank yesterday said there was a desperate need for 'O positive' and 'A positive' blood. People are urged to donate today between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the Blood Donation Centre, St Luke's Square, Guardamangia, or at Fgura parish hall from 8.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Those who would like to donate blood need to drink plenty of water, avoid fatty foods and present their ID cards.
