The BBC has decided to scrap plans to show a documentary about medics in Gaza over concerns it 'risked creating a perception of partiality' of its coverage of the conflict.
Gaza: Doctors Under Attack was commissioned by the corporation more than a year ago from an independent production company called Basement Films.
However, its production was paused in April after an investigation was launched into the making of another controversial documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone.
That programme was taken off the iPlayer earlier this year, and the corporation was forced to apologise after it was revealed that the documentary featured a 13-year-old narrator who is the son of a Hamas government minister and grandson of one of Hamas's founding members.
In the latest controversy over the BBC’s coverage of the war, the broadcaster has confirmed discussions over the documentary showing the plight of medics in Gaza had 'reached the end of the road'.
