BBC sanctioned over Gaza film narrator's Hamas link
The Independent
|October 18, 2025
Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has issued a sanction against the BBC for a breach of its broadcasting code, following the corporation's failure to disclose a narrator's links to Hamas in its documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone.
The film, produced for the BBC by independent company Hoyo Films, was removed from BBC iPlayer in February. This action came after it emerged that the child narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has served as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture.
Ofcom concluded that the omission of this crucial information “was materially misleading” because “it had the potential to erode the very high levels of trust audiences would have expected in a BBC factual programme about the Israel-Gaza war”.
