- The BBC said it reports impartially and corrects mistakes.

## Summary

Former Panorama producer Phil Craig has accused the BBC of bias in its Gaza coverage, saying mistakes appeared to favour one side and that staff with partisan views were insufficiently supervised. His criticism matters because it challenges the broadcaster’s impartiality and the standards applied to reporting a conflict with significant international reach.

Craig cited the BBC’s reporting of the October 2023 explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital, when a correspondent speculated that an Israeli air strike was likely responsible. The BBC later apologised for that speculation; Western intelligence agencies concluded a misfired rocket from Islamic Jihad was to blame. The BBC said it is committed to impartial reporting and acknowledges and corrects mistakes.
