Gaza: Doctors Under Attack
Gaza: Doctors Under Attack is a documentary focusing on the experiences of healthcare workers during the Gaza war. It details the killings and torture of doctors and nurses, as well as attacks on hospitals by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). The film aims to provide a stark portrayal of the dangers faced by medical personnel in conflict zones. Originally set to air in February 2025 on the BBC, the documentary faced delays due to an internal review over politically sensitive content. Following public outcry, including an open letter signed by over 600 prominent figures, the BBC ultimately decided not to broadcast it. The film was later picked up by Channel 4 and aired on July 2, 2025, with a global release by Zeteo on the same day.
