Tai Po blood donation vehicle reaches capacity after deadly fire

The blood donation station in Tai Po is no longer accepting donations after reaching capacity, following a fire in Wang Fuk Court that left at least 44 people dead.

The mobile blood donation vehicle was parked near Tai Po Art Centre. Our reporter talked to some residents and they said they have been asking how they can donate blood.

Hong Kong Red Cross’s staff advised residents to visit the nearest donation centre in Shatin. Since the centre may reach full capacity, they suggested donors to call 27101281 to make an appointment for the coming days or next week.
