Nandy ‘callously indifferent’ to Palestinians as she demands answers from BBC
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy leaves Downing Street, London, following a Cabinet meeting, January 28, 2025

LISA NANDY was accused of “callous indifference” to Palestinian suffering today, following her attacks on the BBC over its handling of a documentary about children living in Gaza during Israel’s genocidal military campaign.

Campaigners and media figures blasted the Culture Secretary after she demanded answers from the broadcaster’s review of the Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone programme by early next week.

The corporation has apologised and launched an internal probe into the making of the programme after removing it from the BBC iPlayer following reports that its child narrator is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has served as Hamas’s deputy minister of agriculture.
