TEHRAN – Spokesman of the
Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization (IBTO) Bashir Haji Beigi has said that the organization is prepared to set up a standard blood transfusion center in Palestine in cooperation with the Iranian Red Crescent Society.
Haji Beigi also condemned the Zionist regime’s attacks on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, declaring that the organization has received many requests from the Iranian people, who are keen on donating blood for the war-stricken nation of Palestine.
Pointing to the fact that the process of shipping blood to Gaza would be time-consuming due to the need for international permissions, Haji Beigi said that the IBTO in coordination with the head of the Red Crescent Society announced its readiness to set up a blood transfusion center in Palestine with a daily blood donation capacity of 200 units.
It is worth mentioning that the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza declared on Monday that the number of Palestinian martyrs exceeded 8,300 people, 70% of them children and women, who lost their lives as a result of the Zionist regime’s relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip over the past 23 days of bombardments. The number of the wounded is also estimated more than 20,000 people, plus 2,000 still missing.
