Coverage shape
Coverage should be useful without becoming a rumour board.
Negotiation claims, pauses, denials and public statements should be tied to named sources and updated as the evidence changes.
Food, medical and crossing updates need context on who is saying what and what remains uncertain.
Casualty figures and displacement claims are reported carefully, with attribution visible instead of implied certainty.
Each Gaza story should make clear what is confirmed, what is reported and what still cannot be safely settled.
