Israelis Answer Call to Donate Blood, Aid Residents of Communities near Gaza
(Ynet News) Yael Ciechanover - Israelis have been responding to calls to donate blood and items needed by the residents of communities near Gaza. Thousands have shown up at impromptu collection centers set up by citizens to bring essential equipment for babies, blankets, clothes and food, while others lined up for hours to donate blood. Health Ministry Director General Moshe Bar Siman Tov said he was moved by the public response, as he too donated blood. Facebook groups have been opened offering babysitting services for medical teams or families where parents have been called up to the military, including offers to shelter their pets. There are even groups of women offering to breastfeed babies orphaned in the Hamas attack.
