BBC Apologizes & Adds Clarification To Gaza Documentary Featuring Son Of Hamas Leader Following Backlash

The BBC has apologized over 'Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone' and the narrator Abdullah's links to a Hamas leader.

The letter was sent to Director General Tim Davie, content chief Charlotte Moore and BBC News boss Deborah Turness earlier today, urging an investigation after documentary about children in Gaza that failed to declare that the lead contributor was allegedly the son of Hamas royalty. The letter, which can be read in full below, asked the bosses a string of questions including whether the BBC knew that the narrator and principal contributor of the documentary was the son of a senior leader of Hamas, a group proscribed as a terrorist organization by the UK government.
