A PRO-Palestinian network of artists today said it is appalled at the BBC for caving into a politicised campaign to stop it airing a documentary on Gaza.

Artists for Palestine UK criticised the public broadcaster for swallowing “misleading” claims after it said a review had uncovered serious flaws in the making of the Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone documentary by the independent production company Hoyo Films.

The BBC removed the documentary after it emerged that the child narrator is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Gaza’s deputy minister of agriculture in the besieged strip run by Hamas.
