BBC breached editorial guidelines over Gaza documentary narrated by son of Hamas official
The BBC has said it breached its editorial guidelines by failing to disclose that the child narrator of a Gaza documentary was the son of a Hamas official.

The review called the failure to bring the information to the BBC's attention a "significant oversight by the production company".

It described the background on the narrator's father as "critical information.
