Sezai Sezen, the Chairman of the Northern Cyprus Turkish Red Crescent, has urged citizens to donate blood during Ramadan to combat lowered donation rates. Sezen emphasized that fasting should not be a barrier to would-be donors, as individuals can still donate blood 30 minutes after opening their fast. Hospitals in the region reportedly face supply issues, with patients who require regular blood transfusions for conditions like thalassemia and oncology facing potentially critical shortages. The Red Crescent has invited donors to apply online, by phone, or through mobile teams.
