The BBC has pulled a documentary which follows the life of a boy in war-torn Gaza after seemingly coming under pressure from Israeli supporters. Gaza: How To Survive A War Zone which was on the BBC's iPlayer streaming service centres on the
struggles of 13-year-old Abdullah, living under Israel's brutal offensive in the Palestinian territory. Following pressure, it was taken down on Friday, a day after British Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said she would discuss the issue with the BBC's
director general and chairman. The BBC says that a number of British television figures also had sent letters criticising it and called for an investigation. The documentary was removed after the BBC with the explanation that the
organisation discovered that the boy's father, Dr Ayman Alyazouri, has worked as a deputy agriculture minister in the Gaza government. Following the ban, the BBC issued a statement saying: The film remains a powerful
child's eye view of the devastating consequences of the war in Gaza which we believe is an invaluable testament to their experiences, and we must meet our commitment to transparency. Despite it being pulled from iPlayer, many
online users have shared the one-hour documentary on social media. |
