PCBS organizes a day for blood donation to Gaza Strip
On December 30, 2008, PCBS organized a day for blood donation at PCBS headquarters in Al Bireh in cooperation
with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and Ramallah public hospital. Dozens of PCBS employees donated blood,
which reflected a sense of national duty. The aim was to support our people in Gaza Strip in the face of annihilation
by the Israeli occupation and to save hundreds of wounded women, children, and elderly people in Gaza Strip who
were the victims of the heinous Israeli military operation against our Palestinian people there.
