Under the leadership of the GNN’s High Commander, Colonel-Major Ahmed Sidian, the operation brought together members of the Guard and their spouses, who donated blood in a show of solidarity and civic duty.
According to the organisers, the effort aims to strengthen the national blood supply, which is a critical resource for hospitals and emergency services across the country.

Beyond their role in national security, the Guards’ participation highlights their broader commitment to public welfare and community service.
As the campaign’s slogan reminds: “Donating blood means saving lives.”
