John,

The BBC is suppressing a documentary about the plight of doctors in Gaza,
saying the delay is linked to an internal review of a different film by a
different producer. It makes no sense.

The UK government still supports Netanyahu’s murderous regime – that’s why
the BBC bosses won’t show the film. But airing Gaza: Medics Under Fire
could help persuade MPs to bring an end to the horror. 

The documentary exposes the unbearable realities of life for Palestinians
in Gaza and the brave medical professionals trying against all odds to
save their lives.

The only thing blocking the broadcast now is fear.

Last September, the UK government suspended just 30 out of around 350 arms
export licenses to Israel, and Israel’s F35 jets are still bombing with
abandon today – liquidating the Gaza ghetto, attacking neighbouring
countries, and wearing through an endless supply of parts from countries
including the UK.

We urgently need a full arms embargo, and while Gaza: Medics Under Fire
isn’t about the arms trade, it could have a huge impact on London, if the
BBC broadcasts it.

The documentary is produced by a respected former editor of Channel 4
News. It was supposed to be broadcast in early 2025, but the BBC won’t
show it, and says it’ll only broadcast the film “as soon as possible”,
citing an internal review about a different Gaza documentary made by
different producers.

There’s no reason to suppress this film because of issues about another
film by someone else.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says Gaza is facing “extreme
risk of famine” with no food remaining in markets and aid distribution
centres. Now, more than ever, the BBC has to rise up to its mandate as a
public service broadcaster. Let’s make them do it.
