Israel Strikes Gaza Strip is a package created for washingtonpost.com’s World section documenting attacks in and around the Gaza strip that began late December of 2008. The landing page acts as an index of articles and information and leads with an interactive map detailing recent attacks and air strikes. The page also features comprehensive information about the history of violence in the area.
The nature of the story posed a design challenge. As an ongoing story, it had to be created in a way to enable quick and easy updates from a staff of producers. It was also the type of story that required immediate action for reporting online, so it had to get published out fast. Therefore, the content is all populated dynamically by XML, which streamlines the process.
