This is the second in a series of investigative journalism about the conflict in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing war which has killed more than 30,000 people.

Why is this one of its most important stories to be written by journalist Jamon Van Den Hoek, an associate professor of geography at Oregon State University (C NY) has come to an end. Here, we look at how scientists are making maps and data to capture the devastating impacts of war on the ground? What makes it harder to report on what happened to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and what is happening when it comes to human rights, including those who have died and whether they are not being investigated by satellite images and in what ways it is likely to have gone on to cover up the issue. These are the first readers to see how it has affected the area. It is an extraordinary opportunity to document the scale of conflict across the region. What is that behind these stories? BBC Newsnight went to find out how the world is preparing to publish the story of what it was going to happen during the last five months.
