WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA GETS IT RIGHT

The number of posts on social media offering to help those stranded in Dubai, the UAE and other parts of West Asia during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is indeed heartwarming.

And this is what social media, especially X should be used for, as a global notice board for relevant information in times like these. Information about flights, alternate routes, helpline numbers are essential in times like these as are shared experiences and narratives. Those who have made it back are helping with routes and numbers, those who are stranded are finding comfort in reaching out to others in a similar situation.
