Producers of the BAFTA-winning documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack have strongly criticized the BBC for refusing to air the film despite funding its production. The documentary investigates Israeli military attacks on hospitals in Gaza and examines allegations of targeting and abuse of healthcare workers.
Producers Accuse BBC of Censorship
The producers described the BBC's decision as an "utterly failing" and vowed not to be silenced. They appealed to the BBC to drop them from the BAFTA show, emphasizing their commitment to highlighting the plight of Palestinian doctors.
Dedication to Detained Doctors
At the BAFTA Television Awards, the producers dedicated their award to over 80 Palestinian doctors being held in detention centers. They also spoke about the "medicide" that has resulted in the deaths of 400 doctors.
BBC's Previous Controversy
The BBC's decision to cancel the program follows a previous controversy earlier in the year when it pulled a separate documentary from iPlayer. The earlier documentary was removed due to allegations of partiality, as the narrator was the 13-year-old son of a Hamas official.
