Welcome to BBC Verify Live
where we share the work of the BBC’s specialists in verification, fact-checking
and data journalism.
With the Israeli military
declaring Gaza City “a dangerous combat zone” this morning we’re using
satellite imagery and verified footage to see how the Israel Defense Forces is
carrying out preparations to take control of the area. We’re looking into reports
that buildings have been demolished in the Zeitoun area west of Gaza City.
A BBC Verify investigation
into Monday’s Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza has found it
was hit at least four times – initial reports suggested it had been struck
twice. You can read our story here and we’ll explain more on this page about
how we worked on the investigation.
We’re also looking at the
data on the number of asylum seekers in hotels across the UK as the government
is set to learn whether it has successfully challenged a court injunction
blocking it from using a hotel in Essex.
And we’re keeping an eye on
satellite imagery and data as fire crews continue to battle a wildfire on the
North Yorkshire Moors that has been alight for more than two weeks.
