Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya satellite news channel said on Thursday it would stage a joint telethon with Saudi state television on Saturday to raise funds for victims of the massive earthquake in Pakistan.
Saudi TV in Riyadh will air reports by Al-Arabiya correspondents in the affected areas "in an effort to mobilise relief aid and raise donations to alleviate the human suffering" caused by the earthquake, said Al-Arabiya, which is privately owned and based in Dubai. Al-Arabiya will be linked to both "the field base in Pakistan and the central donation receiving location in Saudi Arabia" but will not collect donations itself, the station said.
