BBC News Arabic launched an emergency radio service called "Middle East Diaries" on May 5, 2025, in response to the ongoing conflict in the region.

This service aims to provide daily coverage of humanitarian crises resulting from conflicts, natural disasters, and political unrest, focusing on amplifying the voices of citizens living under difficult conditions. It also includes guidance and advice from local experts and international aid workers.

The program is broadcast Sunday to Thursday at 03:00 GMT via various radio frequencies, including shortwave (11830 and 15280 kHz) for Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, medium wave (639 kHz in Egypt and Gaza, 720 kHz in Syria), and FM 93.1 in some areas. It is also available online via BBC Arabic's website.
