Nothing is more important than saving a life, so it’s
essential that Israel have an ample supply of blood for all
its people. That’s where Magen David Adom comes in —
collecting, testing, and distributing Israel’s blood supply
for civilians and the Israel Defense Forces. And to protect
Israel’s blood supply in the future, we’re building a new
blood center for Israel, one that will be reinforced against
rocket or other terrorist attacks. You can support MDA’s
lifesaving blood services.
