The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians has lodged a formal complaint against the BBC for taking down the documentary and "suppressing the testimony of Palestinians". It says the deputy minister for agriculture's role involves "food production relating to crops, fishing and livestock".

: The BBC has acknowledged “serious flaws” in the production of its controversial documentary “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone” and initiated a further review following revelations about its narrator’s family connections to Hamas.

The British government called an urgent meeting with the BBC on Friday over the making of a documentary about children's lives in Gaza that was narrated by the 13-year-old son of a deputy minister in the Palestinian enclave's Hamas government.
