Red Cross warns of blood shortage

The American Red Cross has declared a national blood supply crisis for the second time in its history, citing a four-year summer low and less than a one-day supply of type O positive blood, which accounts for about 60% of blood distributions. The shortage is caused by declining donations due to extreme heat, poor air quality, and illnesses, leading to hospitals restricting type O blood distribution to ensure availability for emergencies. The organization encourages eligible donors to donate, with incentives such as movie tickets, gift cards, and access to local events.
