With Friday's attacks claiming the lives of at least 129 people , and 352 hospitalised after the attacks, Parisians have turned out to help in any way they can.
A huge number have taken to their local blood donation clinics to try and help at a time when there would be increased demand, and images of the resulting queues have been shared on social media.

Deputy Mayor Bernard Jomier spoke to Newstalk earlier to highlight that the hospitals are under severe pressure at the moment as a result of the attacks, but that a large number of people have turned out to try and donate.
