Offers of Blood Buttress Condolences

Hearing about the shortage of blood supplies in the New York area, scores of South Africans also offered to donate blood.

Condemnation of the attacks came from South African organizations across the board. The South African Jewish Board of Deputies expressed shock and horror at what it described as “barbaric terror attacks.”

“This abominable crime was not just an attack on one nation, but on all humanity, and indeed on the very fabric of civilization itself,” the organization said. “It has been a chilling demonstration of the consequences of hatred run wild.”
