Gaza: Doctors Under Attack review – this crucial film is the stuff of nightmares. But the world needs to see it

This harrowing documentary, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, exposes the systematic targeting, detainment, and torture of medical workers in Gaza—a reality so brutal the BBC initially backed out of airing it. The film’s unflinching portrayal of violence against healthcare workers is nightmarish, yet undeniably vital viewing. While its controversial journey to broadcast risks distracting from its message, the film forces the world to confront the human cost of conflict in a way that can’t be ignored.
Editor’s Note: When medics—the very people trying to save lives—become deliberate victims of war, it shatters the last shreds of humanity in conflict zones. This film isn’t just about Gaza; it’s a stark reminder of how war corrodes the rules meant to protect the vulnerable. Whether or not you can stomach watching it, the fact that it exists (and was nearly silenced) speaks volumes about accountability—or the lack of it.
