Reuters, with forensic geologists, used comparative soil analysis and two high‑res drone mosaics to corroborate our finding: Assad's government moved thousands of bodies from a known mass grave site to this secret one in Syria's desert https://t.co/HRZ6OcoIJi

Reuters combined thousands of drone images to create a detailed composite of a known Syrian mass grave. Its three pits helped geologists compare subsoil color with a newer secret grave site. The pits first appeared in satellite images after Assad's fall https://t.co/HRZ6OcoIJi

Drone technology and forensic soil science helped Reuters corroborate Syrian witness accounts of how Bashar al-Assad's government transferred thousands of bodies from a known mass grave to a secret site https://t.co/HRZ6OcoIJi

Reuters found a mass grave in the Syrian desert tied to 'Operation Move Earth,' a clandestine effort to hide atrocities under Bashar al-Assad. From 2019 to 2021, here's how thousands of bodies were exhumed from a known grave and trucked to the secret site https://t.co/xYsMBCSf34

Thousands fled Houthi rule to escape hunger, poverty, or conscription of their children into the military. Their situation remains bleak: They struggle to find work and have little food in the Yemeni displaced persons camps where they now live https://t.co/mzzdIIlB8g

In Yemen, the Houthis have effectively hijacked much of the humanitarian aid supply chain, according to dozens of displaced people and aid workers. Lists of eligible aid recipients, for instance, include many names of people who don’t exist, they say https://t.co/mzzdIIl3iI

‘The Houthis would give you a choice: be with them and take a food basket to stave off hunger, or get nothing,’ said Abdul-Salam. Interviews with hundreds of Yemenis who fled Houthi rule reveal a militant group movement that drives people into starvation https://t.co/mzzdIIlB8g

Yemenis who fled the Houthi-controlled part of the divided country describe a militant group that silences critics, drives people to starvation, and has used international food aid to force parents to hand over children to be soldiers in its armed forces https://t.co/mzzdIIlB8g

Yemenis who fled Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen paint a grim picture of life under the militant group: People are forced to attend rallies and chant death to America and Israel, pay crippling taxes and hand children over to become soldiers, they say https://t.co/MTaMJVHxUG

Israeli forces planned an attack on a Gaza hospital using drone footage which, a military official said, showed a Hamas camera that was the target. But a Reuters analysis found it was actually a Reuters camera, long used by one of its own journalists https://t.co/2wqDYGdf59

A Reuters analysis of visual evidence and other information about an Israeli attack on a Gaza hospital in August contradicts Israel's explanation of what happened in the deadly strike. Read our visual investigation ➡️ https://t.co/2wqDYGdf59

The Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas camera in an August strike on a Gaza hospital, but a Reuters investigation found it belonged to the news agency. An Israeli military official now says troops fired without required approval https://t.co/2wqDYGdMUH

Diabetes is rampant and there are regular power outages on the Pacific islet of Ebeye. Its residents work at a strategic US army base. The base commander says they are ‘the backbone of our labor force.’ Living conditions at the base are very different https://t.co/eyUeljT900

Residents die at an average age of 52, according to a Reuters analysis of records for the island’s 330 deaths between 2020 and 2024, which were provided by Ebeye’s chief doctor https://t.co/eyUeljSBas 5/5

A 2023 Marshallese government report found that at least 33% of residents have the disease. Locals say the crisis is driven by a lack of land and meagre incomes. Almost all of Ebeye’s space is taken up by housing for its residents 4/5

But their island’s impoverishment has created a dependency on cheap rice, frozen chicken and canned meat, mainly imported from the US, driving a diabetes epidemic 3/5

Some 1,000 Marshallese from the nearby island of Ebeye work on the base and earn an average of $22,000 a year, according to government data. Many workers express gratitude for the jobs 2/5
