Blood emergency, an appeal from Cardarelli Hospital: 'We need everyone's help.' The hospital reports a real chronic lack of blood in Campania but also throughout Italy

The Cardarelli hospital in Naples launches an appeal to citizens “so that a real solidarity race can start that can put a stop to the blood emergency of these weeks”.

The director of Aorn “Antonio Cardarelli”, Giuseppe Longo, explains: “We need everyone's help to ensure that our departments, starting with the emergency department, have adequate availability of blood bags.”

Cardarelli speaks of a shortage “chronic in Campania as in the rest of Italy” and surrender “even more dramatic due to the pandemic, which has understandably created some additional resistance even among regular donors.”

Precisely to reassure everyone about the possibility of donating safely, the health director Giuseppe Russo explains that “the Immunohematology and Transfusion Medicine Service of the Cardarelli is located in a pavilion well distinct from the one intended for assistance; under no circumstances should donors enter areas intended for the hospitalization of patients”.

Those who choose to donate blood at Cardarelli can also use the parking lot reserved for donors. Anyone who wants to donate blood can go to the Immunohematology and Transfusion Medicine Service at Cardarelli (in Pavilion E, ground floor) on an empty stomach or after a light breakfast, from 8 to 12, excluding holidays. People who are 18 years of age or younger and under 60 can donate.

To donate blood safely, you must have a body weight of at least 50 kg and a healthy lifestyle. This means: no risky behavior that could compromise the health of the donor or the recipient of the blood.

Suitability for donation will be established through a personal and confidential interview, a clinical evaluation by a doctor and after having carried out the laboratory tests required to guarantee the safety of the donor and the recipient.

Caivano, the drug dealer arrested at Parco Verde was the boyfriend of the girl who died in an accident.

Caivano – An arrest that brings to light one of the most dramatic pages in Neapolitan news. Yesterday, the Carabinieri snapped handcuffs on Ciro Migliore, a 27-year-old already known to law enforcement, during a drug raid in Caivano's green park. The man, identified as an alleged drug dealer, is the same young transgender man who was the boyfriend of Maria Paola Gaglione, the 16-year-old who died in the accident in September 2020. The tragedy, which shocked the entire community, was caused by the victim's brother, Michael Gaglione. As established in the trial, the man, opposing his sister's relationship, chased the couple on a motorcycle. During the chase, the scooter on which Maria Paola and Ciro Migliore were riding crashed, causing the young woman's death. Michele Gaglione was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison for manslaughter. Yesterday's arrest by the police adds a dark piece to Migliore's story. The military raided his home, finding evidence of what appears to be a well-organized drug dealing ring: among the findings, 10 pre-packaged doses of cocaine and crack, packaging material and a "lmaster book" with initials and numbers, likely the accounts from the illegal sale. €1.675 in cash was also seized, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity. The September 16th investigation is not the first drug dealing investigation involving Ciro Migliore after the death of his girlfriend; already in February 2021, he was targeted by law enforcement for similar crimes. The arrest closes a tragic cycle, where a family loss is intertwined with stories of deviance and illegality.
