“We hope it serves to open up the debate on how the nation’s broadcaster covers what is happening in Gaza.” The BBC announced it has dropped ownership of the documentary featuring Palestinian doctors working under Israeli bombardment in Gaza, after delaying its broadcast for months. Titled ‘Gaza: Medics Under Fire’, the film captures powerful first-hand testimonies from doctors filmed in trauma wards and bombed-out clinics. Initially set to air in February, the film was postponed following controversy over another Gaza-related documentary. On June 20, the BBC said airing the film risked “a perception of partiality,” and would not go ahead with the broadcast. Filmmakers say they hope the decision sparks wider debate about how the UK’s national broadcaster covers Israel’s war in Gaza.
