Questions still remain for BBC after damaging Gaza documentary that was about to be shown.

It emerged that the child narrator at the heart of the film, 13-year-old Abdullah , was the son of a Hamas government official.

The outcry and accusations of anti-Israel bias led the BBC to pull the film from iPlayer .

BBC apologises for 'unflinching and vivid' view of life in a warzone.

Head of news says it's the kind of programme her department should be doing.

But she adds: "Of course we have to get it right" The BBC brand is based on impartiality - on being trusted around the world.

The losers in all this are the young citizens of Gaza , writes Andrew Keen .
