One to watch out for on BBC Two

It has been known for some time that the BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet was in the process of making a programme about children caught up in last summer’s conflict between Israel and numerous terrorist organisations based in the Gaza Strip.Doucet doc

That programme will be broadcast this coming Wednesday, July 8th, at 21:00 on BBC Two. Revealingly titled “Children of the Gaza War” (as though nothing at all happened in Israel last summer) its synopsis reads as follows:

“Children in Gaza and across the border in Israel have lived through three major conflicts in six years. In the summer of 2014, more than 500 children were killed in a 51-day war, all but one of them Palestinian. Almost every child in Gaza lost a loved one. More than a third were left traumatised.

On the Israeli border, children lived in constant fear of rocket attacks and underground tunnels. Lyse Doucet follows the lives of children on both sides of the conflict in the midst of the war and through the months that followed, revealing how children born so close are growing further apart with each war.”

On the same day Doucet will be appearing at a promotional event hosted by Chatham House.

The Telegraph’s review of the programme can be found here.
