The Red Cross Nigeria Plateau State has called on public-spirited citizens and good Samaritans to donate blood to victims of the attack on Yelwa Zangam village of Jos North Local Government Area by bandits on Tuesday night.

The government-owned specialist hospitals have been hit by a shortage of blood.

It was also gathered that the hospitals could no longer cope with the demand for blood.

Head, communications, Red Cross Nigeria, Mafeng Mark, in an S O S message on WhatsApps, impelled the public to donate blood to the victims of the attack on admission at various hospitals that have run short of blood to save them.

The message reads: “S. O. S, Red Cross Nigeria Plateau State hereby pleads with the general population to donate blood to victims recently attacked.

“As a matter of urgency, please visit the Plateau specialist hospital for the donation, all types of blood are needed.”
