Over $5 million has been raised for victims of the Christchurch terror attacks across three fundraisers.

A Givealittle page has already raised more than $3.4 million ‑ the most ever for a campaign since Givealittle began in 2008 ‑ with more than 49,000 people donating by 11:20 this morning.

Radio New Zealand reports more than $109,000 has also been donated to a fundraiser on Everyday Hero, which was set up after the volume of donations caused problems on the Givealittle site.

Both pages were set up by the NZ Council of Victim Support Groups, the New Zealand government's primary provider of support services for people affected by attack.

Another fundraiser on LaunchGood has raised almost $1.6m.

The money will be distributed to families by the New Zealand Islamic Information Centre.
