Gaza documentary on health system wins BAFTA after BBC censorship row

Monday, 11 May 2026, 06:10 · 1 min read

A documentary exposing Israeli attacks on Gaza's hospitals and the deaths of around 1,700 Palestinian medical workers won the Best Current Affairs award at the BAFTA television ceremonies on 11 May 2026. The filmmakers used their acceptance speech to publicly criticise the BBC (the UK's public broadcaster), which had originally co-funded the project but later withdrew support — a decision the directors characterised as censorship. The award brings renewed attention to the targeting of healthcare infrastructure in Gaza and to ongoing debates about editorial independence within major public media organisations.
