In the episode, Mosab Abu Toha shares what life has been like since leaving Gaza after being detained by the Israeli military while trying to flee with his family. He explains how he continues documenting the realities on the ground while living with the pain of losing more than 100 relatives during the war. Mosab explains what daily life inside Gaza looks like today and the devastating impact these living conditions have on children, the elderly, and the wounded. We discuss the importance of documenting these events, how social media has shaped global awareness of the conflict, and why younger generations are seeing a different reality from previous generations.
