Gaza: Doctors Under Attack (formerly known as Gaza: Medics Under Fire) is an unreleased documentary on doctors working during the Gaza war.

Originally due to be broadcast in February 2025 by the BBC and cleared for broadcast, the film underwent an internal review by the BBC due to alleged politically sensitive material.[1][2][3][4][5] In June 2025, the BBC announced that it would not air the documentary because of what it described as impartiality concerns, and announced it would instead transfer ownership of the film to its producers, Basement Films, allowing it to be released.[6]

On 28 June 2025, it was announced that Channel 4 would air the documentary.[7]
