The highest amount that has been raised on the Sahem platform has been for the Turkey and Syria earthquakes, which raised close to SR524 million, with donations from over 3.4 million people from around the country.
Meanwhile, the death toll in Gaza has crossed over 10,500, with no end in sight as the Israeli attacks continue to pound the strip. The residents of Gaza are currently facing an acute shortage of water, electricity, food, and fuel.
