Is Talking About Rafah Enough?

If you've been online lately, you might have seen the countless images and videos that have been shared on the situation in Palestine. Recently, it's been amped up by a series of attacks on Rafah, meant to be a safe zone for Palestinian families. So first, we speak to a Palestinian student living in Malaysia, about how she's coping and how people can help. And then, Benjamin Loh joins us to discuss the the role that social media activism has played in driving engagement and bringing in awareness.
