Abdullah Al-Yazouri, the documentary’s 14-year-old narrator and central figure, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, the deputy minister of agriculture in the Hamas-run Government. Viewers were not made aware of the connection.

The BBC confirmed the documentary was removed while "further due diligence" is conducted by the corporation.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is set to meet BBC bosses, including director-general Tim Davie and chairman Samir Shah, in the wake of the outrage.
The BBC apologised for “omitting detail” about the narrator and his relationship with a Hamas leader. It said: “The film remains a powerful child’s eye view of the devastating consequences of the war in Gaza, which we believe is an invaluable testament to their experiences, and we must meet our commitment to transparency.”
It added: “There have been continuing questions raised about the programme and in the light of these, we are conducting further due diligence with the production company. The programme will not be available on iPlayer while this is taking place.”
