BBC Removes Gaza Documentary Over Undisclosed Hamas Links

The broadcaster pulls 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' from iPlayer following revelations about contributors' ties to Hamas and criticism of editorial oversight.

The BBC has removed the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' from its iPlayer platform after admitting key contributors had undisclosed connections to Hamas.
The film featured Abdullah Al-Yazouri, a 14-year-old narrator whose father is a deputy minister in the Hamas-run government, a fact not disclosed to viewers before broadcast.
Additional concerns emerged about two other children in the film, including one linked to Hamas propaganda and another whose father was a Hamas-affiliated police officer.
The BBC apologized for the oversight and stated it is conducting further due diligence with the production company, HOYO Films, which is being blamed for failing to disclose the connections.
Critics, including prominent media figures, have called for an independent investigation, accusing the BBC of failing basic editorial standards and risking its reputation for impartiality.
