BBC Admits ‘Serious Flaws’ in Gaza Doc After Hamas Link Revealed
SHARE

The BBC has recently come under fire for its documentary “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone” after it was revealed that the teenage narrator, Abdullah Al-Yazouri, is the son of a Hamas official. The controversy surrounding the film has prompted the broadcaster to pull the documentary from its streaming platform iPlayer.

The documentary, which initially aired on BBC Two, follows Abdullah as he chronicles daily life in the war-torn region of Gaza. However, it was soon discovered that Abdullah’s father, Ayman Alyazouri, serves as Hamas’s deputy minister of agriculture, raising concerns about the impartiality of the film.

Industry figures, including Tracy-Ann Oberman, Neil Blair, Danny Cohen, and Leo Pearlman, have called for transparency regarding the BBC’s vetting process and demanded the program’s removal. In response to the backlash, the BBC has acknowledged its failure to disclose the narrator’s family ties to Hamas.

In a statement issued by the broadcaster, they defended the importance of highlighting children’s experiences in Gaza but confirmed that they are conducting further due diligence with the production company, Hoyo Films. The program will not be available on iPlayer while this investigation takes place.

The BBC has also announced that it will be conducting an independent investigation to determine whether editorial guidelines were breached and if any disciplinary action is necessary. The broadcaster has apologized for the oversight and emphasized the importance of trust and transparency in journalism.

U.K. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has expressed her intention to discuss the documentary with the BBC, particularly in relation to its sourcing of subjects. The controversy surrounding “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone” serves as a reminder of the need for rigorous vetting processes and ethical considerations in documentary filmmaking.
