Sky News report this morning showed horrific harrowing footage of women and children scurrying helplessly to "safety" under the watch of EDF tanks. The camera was in amongst them, with close-ups of infants and babies obviously terrified. The commentary told us that some of these children had lost contact with their mothers, and we could hear them crying out in anguish, and a baby was being carried by a stranger because, as she said to camera, the child's grandmother could no longer hold her.

Another sequence showed a group of woman and children in a square, the commentary informing us that they had been told to leave their homes to seek a safer place. At that moment there's a huge explosion in the background, and the different groups flee in all directions in terrified panic. The commentary says something to the effect that "there is no safer place to flee to."

A number of questions immediately present themselves.

We are constantly told that no independent media is permitted inside Gaza. So who filmed these terrible scenes? Sky News? And how were they allowed to film them and transmit them? In one shot EDF tanks are plainly visible, so the soldiers in them must have seen a cameraman or woman in the lines of refugees and did nothing to prevent them filming.

And if Sky News can obtain this footage, why do we never see such close-up traumatic testimony on the BBC? We never do. I want to know how this filming was allowed to proceed and who filmed it.
