Greece’s state broadcaster ERT TV launched its Arabic ‘News for Refugees’ bulletin from its headquarters in Athens, Wednesday.
The two-minute news bulletin aims to inform refugees and migrants left stranded in the country with useful information.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Thursday hailed decisions by the state broadcaster ERT and the ANA-MPA news agency to offer news content in Arabic in order to help refugees in Greece.
“We welcome ERT & @amna_news’ decision to help refugees by offering much-needed, credible programming in Arabic,” Tsipras posted on his @tsipras_eu twitter account.
As of mid-March, the ANA-MPA launched a new website in Arabic providing free news and other useful information for migrants and refugees at the address http://www.ana.gr/arabic.
The site’s content includes useful tips, links, guidelines and announcements issued by the Coordinating Body for Refugees for Arabic-speaking refugee populations in Greece. It is accompanied by multimedia news content, maps and other features.
It provides full coverage of news from Greece relating to refugees in the country, as well as the more important news items of the day within the country and those relating to the Arab world in general. It also features a list in English of all the day’s news headlines in Greece.
The website is mobile- and tablet-compatible and includes links to other ANA-MPA websites in Greek, English and Turkish.
ERT has also started broadcasting news programmes in Arabic.
