Climate Crisis Contributes to US Blood Supply Shortage, American Red Cross Warns
The American Red Cross has highlighted the impact of record heat this summer on the US blood supply, revealing that extreme weather and high temperatures have exacerbated an emergency blood shortage. The heat, which affected turnout at nearly 100 blood drives in July, led to a shortfall of over 19,000 donations and a 25% drop in the national blood inventory, while hospital demand for blood products remains steady.
