Children of the Gaza War

There's a programme coming up on BBC Two this Wednesday from Lyse Doucet called Children of the Gaza War. 

The programme's website contains the following blurb about it:

Children in Gaza and across the border in Israel have lived through three major conflicts in six years. In the summer of 2014, more than 500 children were killed in a 51-day war, all but one of them Palestinian. Almost every child in Gaza lost a loved one. More than a third were left traumatised. 

On the Israeli border, children lived in constant fear of rocket attacks and underground tunnels. Lyse Doucet follows the lives of children on both sides of the conflict in the midst of the war and through the months that followed, revealing how children born so close are growing further apart with each war.

That already sounds heavily loaded, but at least it makes it appear as if a balance might be struck as regards featuring equivalent numbers of children from both sides of the border - and, therefore, a balance of experiences.

However, the Daily Telegraph's (p)review of it (initially borrowing heavily from this same BBC blurb) describes it as follows, and suggests it's going to be a 3/1 ratio of Palestinian to Israeli children instead - and even worse than the BBC's own blurb implies:

In Gaza and across the border in southern Israel, a generation of children have lived through three major wars in six years. Last summer, more than 500 children were killed in a 51-day conflict, all but one of them Palestinian. On the Israel side, they lived in constant fear of rocket attacks and gunmen raiding from underground tunnels. In this powerful but at times distressing documentary, international correspondent Lyse Doucet follows children on both sides. 

The film follows a quartet of 12-year-olds, wise way beyond their years. Eilon lives in Sderot, known as “the bomb shelter capital of the world”. He sleeps in a bombproof safe-room and has counselling for shell shock. Abdurahman has lost 18 family members, which is driving him to become a Hamas fighter. Samar had taken refuge in a UN school until a night-time attack killed her father and left her mother in intensive care. Syed describes how his brother and cousins were killed by an Israeli gunboat which apparently mistook children playing on a beach for Palestinian soldiers. The overwhelming feeling you are left with is that this is no way for children to live, let alone die.
