King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center is the only entity authorized to receive and distribute donations outside Saudi Arabia

According to the Saudi Press Agency, the Ministry of Interior has verified that the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) is the only organisation permitted to accept and disperse donations outside of Saudi Arabia. 

The ministry stressed how charitable Saudi society is. The statement read, "The Ehsan, Farajat, and Tabarra platforms, as well as the donation campaigns run by the Kingdom to aid countries during disasters, are based on regular procedures that ensure that donations reach those who deserve them and are not used for exploiting in a way undermining the security."

The government emphasised that anybody engaging in fundraising operations will face the appropriate legal sanctions. Callers were urged to report any violations by dialling 999 in the remaining provinces of the Kingdom and the unified number 911 in the regions of Makkah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province.
