In a statement, QRCS said the "campaign witnessed a great turnout from the Qatari community to donate for and help their Lebanese brothers, which reflects the honourable positions of the Qatari people and the State of Qatar in providing relief and aid to all brotherly and friendly peoples."
The statement added that the past two days witnessed "wonderful sympathy and solidarity" with the brotherly Lebanese people, and a slew of generous donations by individuals and institutions during a live programme on Qatar TV, Al-Rayyan Channel, Sout Al-Khaleej Radio Channel, Qatar Radio and Holy Quran Radio, adding that total donations made during the campaign from all supporters and individuals amounted to QR94,052,940.
