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.
