The Red Cross reports a significant drop in blood supply due to increased flu cases and recent winter weather, prompting urgent calls for donations.

About 800 blood drives have been canceled since the beginning of the year, leading to more than 20,000 uncollected blood and platelet donations, the Red Cross said.

This year, Valentine's Day happens to overlap with National Blood Donor Day, amid a critical need for donations this year, according to the American Red Cross.
