Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Gaza Teen Who Narrated Acclaimed Documentary Condemns BBC Censorship

HeadlineMar 07, 2025

The 13-year-old narrator of a BBC produced documentary on Gaza has responded to BBC’s decision to withdraw the acclaimed film “Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone” from its streaming service after pressure from pro-Israeli groups. This is Abdullah al-Yazuri speaking to Middle East Eye.

Abdullah al-Yazuri: “My message to the BBC is that I hoped that the documentary, this documentary, can see light and can be successful, can spread the message of the suffering that children in Gaza witness.”

Abdullah al-Yazuri says he and his family have received threats and the BBC has not intervened to help protect them.
