Australian Red Cross Lifeblood’s website and call centre have been inundated with people responding to calls for blood donations since Sunday night’s terrorist attack at Bondi Beach.
At least 16 people are dead and 38 others are in hospital in Sydney after two gunmen opened fire on crowds celebrating the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
On Sunday evening, Lifeblood issued several large life-threatening orders for type O blood to hospitals in Sydney and urged people – especially those with type O-negative blood – to donate.
