MAKKAH — The Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) has said that the operation center in the Holy City of Makkah has received 10,077 emergency reports during May that have been all dealt with high professionalism by its teams.

In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the SRCA added that 6,277, of the total emergency reports received, were for cases of sickness while 3,800 were for traffic accidents.

The SRCA receives emergency calls on 997 or through the “Asefni” (Save Me) application — available in 9 languages — which allows users to communicate their distress to an emergency team via a phone call or text message.

The application provides the emergency teams with the user’s location and first aid book stock images. — SPA
