Melo News is a community trust layer for citizen reporting from Palestine. When correspondents are expelled, blocked, or killed, the record depends on the people who are still there, but their reports arrive scattered, real events get dismissed as propaganda, and recycled images get used to discredit true reporting. Melo takes firsthand reports filed from a companion app, groups the ones about the same event, and shows how many genuinely independent accounts back it, catching when the same clip is just reshared to look like many sources. Every event gets an honest status: corroborated, developing, or disputed. It gives a skeptical reader a reason to trust what holds up, stops one recycled photo from poisoning a whole story, and leaves a structured, timestamped record for advocacy, research, and accountability, without ever taking a side.
