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.

Tell the BBC: stop delaying the documentary about Gaza doctors – broadcast it now!

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.

Tell the BBC: Broadcast “Gaza: Medics Under Fire” now!

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.
