BBC removes Gaza documentary from iPlayer to carry out ‘further due diligence’

Further accusations were made about other children in the documentary, such as claims that they were pictured with the militant group Hamas.



The BBC has removed the documentary "Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone" from its iPlayer service to conduct further due diligence following accusations that some children featured in the film were linked to Hamas. The documentary, produced by Hoyo Films, initially aired on BBC Two with a disclaimer added after concerns were raised. The BBC is investigating these claims while the film is unavailable. Supporters argue the documentary provides crucial first-hand accounts of life in Gaza, while critics, including prominent figures like Danny Cohen, have called for its removal. UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has discussed the matter with the BBC, highlighting the challenges in accurately portraying such sensitive issues.
