@RobinParker this begs the question, how was BBC decision arrived at? The Centre for media monitoring has recently produced a damning evidenced based report on BBC coverage of Gaza.

BBC has really dropped the ball on this one.

@RobinParker I watched this before the BBC took it down. It’s truly awful to see what the children are witness to. I saw this as the other point of view and lived experience. Glad it’s available again.

@TinaJesson I think you might have mixed up two docs. The BBC had put this one on pause, while it continued to review the one I think you refer to, which aired in February - Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone, made by Hoyo Films.

Easily confused, given how much the BBC has tied itself up in knots over the issue...

I worked on this film as an offline editor - finishing the UK edit (I was not the main editor) and re-cutting a version for Arabic TV - such a relief that people will finally see it
