Irish blood donation bags and masks on way to Ukraine
Ireland has sent 4,000 blood donation bags and 50,000 medical masks to Ukraine, as part of an effort to support the health service of the war-torn country.
The Government, working with the HSE, has donated thousands of items designed to help Ukrainian medics, as part of an EU-wide effort.
4,000 blood bags were donated by the Irish Blood Transfusion Service and sent to Ukraine on Monday from a supplier in Poland, while 10,000 bio-protection suits, as well as 50,000 medical-grade masks and more than 2,500 litres of disinfectant, were dispatched today.
The Department of Health confirmed that, alongside the HSE, staff are planning further donations to Ukraine and neighbouring countries as the Russian invasion shows no sign of ending.
