Christina Aasi Needs Blood Donations for the Third Time in Two Days

For the third time in two days, social media pages of friends of photographer Christina Aasi are filled with requests for blood donations for her. Aasi, a correspondent for AFP, remains in a complicated condition after being injured by shrapnel from an Israeli missile in southern Lebanon, alongside several reporters from foreign and local agencies. Since last night, Aasi's friends have issued calls for blood donations. The American University Medical Center announced that Aasi urgently needs blood units of type “+A”, “-A”, “+O”, or “-O”. Aasi was injured due to Israeli bombardment in the town of Al-Aamal in southern Lebanon on Friday. She was transferred from a hospital in the south to the American University Hospital in Beirut due to her injuries. Other injured in the Israeli shelling in southern Lebanon include Al Jazeera reporter Carmen Joughdar, Eli Barahia, as well as Iraqi Reuters reporters Thaer Zahr Kadhim and Maher Nazih Abdul Latif, and AFP reporter Dylan Collins, while Reuters photographer Issam Abdullah was martyred.
