The civil war in Syria rarely makes the headlines now, but the people there are still suffering immensely as a result of the conflict that started 13 years ago this week (15 March). Through its programming and Viewer Support team, SAT-7 continues to connect with Syrian viewers and remind them they are not forgotten.

As regional tensions provoked by the war in Gaza continue to escalate, people in the Middle East feel increasingly hopeless. But the resilience shown by the people of Iraq – especially the Christian community – tells a story that can bring hope to others.

One year on from the Türkiye-Syria earthquakes, among the most deadly disasters of recent times, SAT-7 TÜRK and SAT-7 ARABIC continue to uncover stories of hope and to support viewers suffering from the impact.

To mark 100 years since the momentous population exchange between Türkiye and Greece, SAT-7 TÜRK has created one of its most ambitious productions to date. Feature-length film Yakamoz, which tells the emotive story of two families caught up in the exchange, is already attracting mainstream media attention in Türkiye ahead of its release next year.

As churches in the Holy Land and neighbouring Jordan cancel public Christmas celebrations, SAT-7 is standing in solidarity with those suffering in the region with a schedule of Christmas programming that points viewers to the Prince of Peace. Special broadcasts include a church service from Bethlehem, children singing from a Christian school in Ramallah, and stories of faith from Iraq.
