Core Skills

Verify Gaza Humanitarian Figures With Attribution Boundaries

Keep reported figures, UN attribution, institutional verification, survey estimates, and press-freedom trackers visibly separate.

Course thesis

Verify Gaza humanitarian figures by reducing each claim to a source row, classifying the evidence, preserving attribution boundaries, auditing legal and humanitarian language, and leaving a publishable file another editor can verify.

Moderate 1-7 days

Core brief

Search intent

People search for Israel dossier evidence workflows because the public record is high-risk, fast-moving, and easy to misstate when source classes are blended.

First action

Build an attribution table that names the reporting body, original source, date range, method, and what remains unverified.

Outcome

An attribution table that prevents reported figures, estimates, and verified findings from being presented as the same evidence class

Proof standard

Progress means a skeptical editor can trace every number, legal term, and incident claim from prose back to the source row without guessing.

Before you start

One Israel dossier claim narrow enough to test.
A source ledger for claim text, source class, custodian, date, URL, access date, confidence label, and open question.
A rule that no claim moves into public copy until its evidence tier and source boundary are explicit.

Official checkpoints

Use UN OCHA, UNICEF, The Lancet Global Health as the first source ladder before relying on commentary, screenshots, reposts, or unsourced summaries.
Attribution is not a cosmetic footnote. It is the difference between careful publication and unsupported certainty.
Treat claim rows, source classes, confidence labels, access dates, and open questions as the proof threshold.

Tools: attribution table, date-range note, method column, reported-vs-verified label, revision log

Institutions: UN OCHA, UNICEF, The Lancet Global Health, Committee to Protect Journalists
