A documentary exposing Israeli attacks on healthcare infrastructure and medical staff in Gaza has won the BAFTA award for best current affairs programme.

A documentary about Israeli attacks on Gaza's healthcare system won the BAFTA award for best current affairs programme, despite the BBC rejecting it before broadcast. The award reflects a division within British media institutions over coverage of the war on Gaza.
The win puts pressure on major media institutions to reconsider decisions to withhold sensitive content about humanitarian crises, which could affect broadcasting policies and journalistic coverage of conflicts in the future. It also points to escalating controversy over press freedom and content censorship related to the Middle East in major Western media outlets.
