A huge truck bombing killed more than 500 people in Mogadishu on October 14 2017. Social media was crucial in documenting the dead and missing in the hours after attack. Abdullahi Abdi, a recent graduate doctor, says young people like him were at the forefront of treating the wounded and setting up social media pages for families looking for their loved ones.
