Red Cross announces second blood shortage

The American Red Cross has declared a national blood supply crisis for only the second time in its history, citing a significant drop in donations and a shortage of critical blood types, especially type O positive. Supplies have fallen nearly 25% since June, leaving less than a one-day national inventory of type O blood, which is vital for emergencies and surgeries. Factors such as extreme heat, health scares, and summer travel have reduced donor turnout, prompting urgent appeals for blood donations to prevent delays in medical treatments.
