How we confirmed Assad-era mass grave conspiracy: Witnesses, science Drone technology, forensic science helped corroborate witness accounts of how Assad's government trucked bodies from a mass grave to a secret location.

Even in areas of the world where information is hard to gather, empirical evidence often is hiding in plain sight. You just have to know how to look for it.

Visual evidence upends Israel’s official story for deadly attack on Gaza hospital Israeli troops say they targeted a Hamas camera in an August strike, but a Reuters investigation found the device belonged to one of the news agency’s journalists. An Israeli official now says troops fired without required approval. The five journalists who died in the strike are among 200 killed by Israel that it has yet to fully explain.

Drone footage, a stairwell and a prayer rug. A Reuters visual investigation upends Israel's story about its deadly attack on Nasser Hospital in Gaza last month.

Exclusive: Trump administration cut autism-related research by 26% so far in 2025 Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has vowed to address rising U.S. autism rates as a top health priority for the Trump administration .

RFK Jr. says he wants to boost spending on autism research. In the first four months of this year, the NIH has done the opposite, according to a Reuters analysis of NIH data.

I couldn’t be prouder of the Reuters team that won the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting today. I’m especially thrilled for my brilliant friend Mo Tamman. He conceived this smart way of examining the supply chain for the deadly fentanyl trade. Read his work. It’s worth your time.

How Reuters counted the dead in famine-stricken Sudan No one knows how many people have died from the catastrophic hunger sweeping Sudan. But graves, counted from the sky, offer a clue to the devastation.

People are starving to death in Sudan but no one knows how many. Enter @mcneill.bsky.social and @raytroncoso.bsky.social of Reuters. They used radar and optical sensor data from satellites to count new graves at Sudan's Zamzam camp for people displaced by war.

The world’s hunger watchdog warned of catastrophe in Sudan. Famine struck anyway. Here’s how the world’s hunger monitoring-and-response system is supposed to work – and why it’s not achieving its mission.

A Reuters deep dive on how the world failed to prevent an ongoing famine in Sudan.

A vast global system exists to prevent famine. It's failing. The IPC is meant to sound alarms that direct food aid to crisis spots. But the watchdog struggles to operate in areas of conflict – the main driver of hunger.

The world has enough food and the technology to feed every person on Earth. Yet millions are starving. This @reuters story explains why.
