Saudi donations for Pakistan earthquake victims reach over USD 15 million

Saudis paid over SR 57 million (USD 15.2 million) up till now, within a donation campaign that has been launched earlier Saturday by Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz to help the victims of the massive earthquake that hit Pakistan recently. The campaign, started with a SR 10 million donation by the king, will last until the end of the Moslems’ holy fasting month of Ramadan. Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz has donated SR three million, and Prince of Riyadh, Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz paid SR one million.

Saudi TV campaign raises $32 mln for Pakistan aid

A Saudi television appeal has raised 121 million riyals ($32 million) to help survivors of Pakistan’s devastating earthquake, the official Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday. King Abdullah gave 10 million riyals and Crown Prince Sultan gave 5 million to Saturday’s appeal. Donations to the state-organised campaign may continue for another week. Earlier this month Abdullah said Saudi Arabia was sending 500 million riyals to help aid and reconstruction after the October 8 earthquake, which killed at least 53,000 people. Saudi charities are prevented from transferring money abroad under measures introduced after September 11, 2001, aimed at preventing the donations being diverted to militants.
