After the documentary aired, a group including actress Tracy-Ann Oberman, producer Neil Blair, former BBC One controller Danny Cohen, and producer Leo Pearlman wrote to the BBC calling for the film to be pulled from iPlayer.
A BBC documentary focusing on Gaza has been removed from the BBC iPlayer streaming service while the broadcaster carries out “further due diligence”.
The documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, first aired on BBC Two and is narrated by 13-year-old Abdullah Al-Yazouri, who describes life in Gaza during the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
“Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone features important stories we think should be told, those of the experiences of children in Gaza,” a statement from the BBC said.
The documentary was made by London-based Hoyo Films, which previously made BBC documentary Ukraine: Enemy In The Woods.
